AI Summary

  • Expands the local control funding formula (LCFF) calculation options for school districts by adding a 5-year average of prior fiscal years as a fourth comparison point, allowing districts to use whichever average daily attendance figure is greatest among current year, prior year, 3-year average, or 5-year average

  • Authorizes school districts to exclude the 5 days with the lowest recorded attendance from their current and prior fiscal year calculations when computing regular average daily attendance

  • Applies adjustments to sponsoring school districts with charter schools, requiring attendance calculations for both 3-year and 5-year averages to account for student transfers between charter and non-charter schools
