(a) The Superintendent, in computing apportionments and allowances from the State School Fund for the second principal apportionment, shall determine the following for the regular day classes of the elementary schools maintained by each school district:

(1) (A) For grades 1 to 3, inclusive, the Superintendent shall determine the number of classes, the number of pupils enrolled in each class, the total enrollment in all such classes, the average number of pupils enrolled per class, and the total of the numbers of pupils which are in excess of thirty (30) in each class.

(B) For those school districts that do not have any classes with an enrollment in excess of 32 and whose average size for all the classes is 30.0 or less, there shall be no excess declared. For those school districts that have one or more classes in excess of an enrollment of 32 or whose average size for all the classes is more than 30, the excess shall be the total of the number of pupils which are in excess of 30 in each class having an enrollment of more than 30.

(2) For grades 4 to 8, inclusive, the Superintendent shall determine the total number of pupils enrolled, the number of full-time equivalent classroom teachers, and the average number of pupils per each full-time equivalent classroom teacher. The Superintendent shall also determine the excess if any, of pupils enrolled in such grades in the following manner:

(A) Determine the number of pupils by which the average number of pupils per each full-time equivalent classroom teacher for the current fiscal year exceeds the greater of the average number of pupils per each full-time equivalent classroom teacher in all the appropriate districts of the state, as determined by the Superintendent for October 30, 1964, or the average number of pupils per each full-time equivalent classroom teacher which existed in the school district on either October 30, 1964, or March 30, 1964, as selected by the governing board of the school district.

(B) Multiply the number determined in subparagraph (A) by the number of full-time equivalent classroom teachers of the current fiscal year.

(C) Reduce the number determined in subparagraph (B) by the remainder that results from dividing such number by the average number of pupils per each full-time equivalent teacher for October 30, 1964, as determined by the Superintendent in subparagraph (A).

(3) The Superintendent shall compute the product obtained by multiplying the excess number of pupils, if any, in paragraph (1) by ninety-seven hundredths.

(4) If the school district reports that it has maintained, during the current fiscal year, any classes in which there were enrolled pupils in excess of 30 per class pursuant to paragraph (1), and there is no excess number of pupils computed pursuant to paragraph (2), the Superintendent shall decrease the average daily attendance reported under the provisions of Section 41601 by the product determined pursuant to paragraph (3).

(5) If the school district reports that it has maintained, during the current fiscal year, no classes in which there were enrolled pupils in excess of 30 per class determined pursuant to paragraph (1), and there is an excess number of pupils computed pursuant to paragraph (2), the Superintendent shall compute the product obtained by multiplying the excess number of pupils computed pursuant to paragraph (2) by ninety-seven hundredths. The Superintendent shall decrease the average daily attendance reported under the provisions of Section 41601 by the resulting product.

(6) If the school district reports that it has maintained, during the current fiscal year, any classes in which there were enrolled pupils in excess of 30 per class determined pursuant to paragraph (1), and there is an excess number of pupils computed pursuant to paragraph (2), the Superintendent shall add to the product determined pursuant to paragraph (3), the product determined pursuant to paragraph (5), and shall decrease the average daily attendance reported under the provisions of Section 41601 by this total amount.

(b) The governing board of each school district maintaining elementary schools shall report for the fiscal year 1964–65 and each year thereafter the information required for the determination to be made by the Superintendent pursuant to this section in accordance with instructions provided on forms furnished and prescribed by the Superintendent. Such information shall be reported by the school district together with, and at the same time as, the reports required to be filed for the second principal apportionment of the State School Fund. The forms on which the data and information is reported shall include a certification by the superintendent of each school district or its chief administrative officer that the data is correct and accurate for the period covered, according to his or her best information and belief.

(c) For purposes of this section, a “full-time equivalent classroom teacher” means an employee of an elementary, high school, or unified school district, employed in a position requiring certification qualifications and whose duties require him to teach pupils in the elementary schools of that district in regular day classes for the full time for which he is employed during the regular schoolday. In reporting the total number of full-time equivalent classroom teachers, there shall be included, in addition to those employees defined above, the full-time equivalent of all fractional time for which employees in positions requiring certification qualifications are required to devote to teaching pupils in the elementary schools of the district in regular day classes during the regular schoolday.

(d) For purposes of this section, the number of pupils enrolled in each class means the average of the active enrollment in that class on the last teaching day of each school month that ends before April 15 of each school year.

(e) This section shall not be applicable to school districts with less than 101 units of average daily attendance for the current fiscal year.

(f) The Superintendent shall adopt rules and regulations that he or she may deem necessary for the effective administration of this section. Those rules and regulations may specify that no decrease in average daily attendance reported under the provisions of Section 41601 shall be made for a school district on account of large classes due to instructional television or team teaching, which may necessarily involve class sizes at periods during the day larger than the standard set forth in this section.

(c) This section shall not apply to an entity providing any of the services listed in subdivision (a) to a private school when the private school determines that the employees of the entity will have limited contact with pupils. In determining whether a contract employee has limited contact with pupils, the private school shall consider the totality of the circumstances, including factors such as the length of time the contractors will be on school grounds, whether pupils will be in proximity with the site where the contractors will be working, and whether the contractors will be working by themselves or with others. If a private school has made this determination, the private school shall take appropriate steps to protect the safety of any pupils that may come in contact with these employees.

(d) A private school may determine, on a case-by-case basis, to require an entity providing schoolsite services other than those listed in subdivision (a) or those described in Section 33193 and the entity’s employees to comply with the requirements of this section, unless the private school determines that the employees of the entity will have limited contact with pupils.

Upon implementation of an electronic fingerprinting system with terminals located statewide and managed by the Department of Justice, the department shall ascertain the information required pursuant to this section within three working days. When the Department of Justice ascertains that an individual whose fingerprints were submitted to it pursuant to subdivision (a) has a pending criminal proceeding for a felony as defined in Section 45122.1 or has been convicted of a felony as defined in Section 45122.1, the department shall notify the employer designated by the individual of that fact.

The Department of Justice shall review the criminal record summary it obtains from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and shall notify the employer only as to whether or not an applicant has any convictions or arrests pending adjudication for offenses which, if committed in California, would have been punishable as a violent or serious felony. The Department of Justice shall not provide any specific offense information received from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Department of Justice shall provide written notification to the contract employer only concerning whether an applicant for employment has any conviction or arrest pending final adjudication for any of those crimes, as specified in Section 45122.1, but shall not provide any information identifying any offense for which an existing employee was convicted or has an arrest pending final adjudication.

(f) An entity having a contract as specified in subdivision (a) and an entity required to comply with this section pursuant to subdivision (d) shall not permit an employee to come in contact with pupils until the Department of Justice has ascertained that the employee has not been convicted of a felony as defined in Section 45122.1.

(2) This prohibition does not apply to an employee solely on the basis that the employee has been convicted of a serious felony that is not also a violent felony if that employee can prove to the sentencing court of the offense in question, by clear and convincing evidence, that he or she has been rehabilitated for the purposes of schoolsite employment for at least one year. If the offense in question occurred outside this state, then the person may seek a finding of rehabilitation from the court having jurisdiction where he or she is resident.

(g) An entity having a contract as specified in subdivision (a) and an entity required to comply with this section pursuant to subdivision (d) shall certify in writing to the private school that neither the employer nor any of its employees who are required by this section to submit or have their fingerprints submitted to the Department of Justice and who may come in contact with pupils have been convicted of a felony as defined in Section 45122.1.

(h) An entity having a contract as specified in subdivision (a) on the effective date of the act adding this section and an entity required to comply with this section pursuant to subdivision (d) by a private school with which it has a contract on the effective date of the act adding this section shall complete the requirements of this section within 90 days of that date.

The Director of Finance shall not authorize a loan from the Motor Vehicle Account, and shall promptly require the repayment of any outstanding balance owed to that account, if the funds are needed in the account to make expenditures authorized in the annual Budget Act and by any other appropriations made by the Legislature.

(2) To provide cash needed for expenditures on projects listed in Section 14556.40, the Legislature may authorize loans from the Public Transportation Account or the State Highway Account to the TCRF through the annual Budget Act. The Legislature may also authorize the State Highway Account to expend funds on behalf of projects listed in Section 14556.40 and those expenditures shall constitute a loan to the TCRF. Loans from the Public Transportation Account shall not exceed a cumulative total of two hundred eighty million dollars ($280,000,000), and loans from the State Highway Account shall not exceed a cumulative total of six hundred fifty-four million dollars ($654,000,000).

All loans from the Public Transportation Account and the State Highway Account shall be repaid at the time the TCRF is repaid pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (c). Upon the request of the commission or the Director of Finance, the department shall provide a report, for purposes of this subdivision, projecting the cash needs of the projects approved under this chapter.

All these loans shall be repaid upon the sale of bonds authorized by Article 6.5 (commencing with Section 63048.6) of Chapter 2 of Division 1 of Title 6.7. If the proceeds from those bonds are insufficient to repay the funds loaned to the General Fund under paragraph (1), the remaining amount of those loans shall be repaid from future tribal gaming revenues, additional securitizations against those revenues, or from the General Fund.

(3) Interest at the rate earned by the Surplus Money Investment Fund shall be paid to the TCRF from the General Fund with respect to the cumulative amount loaned from the State Highway Account to the TCRF pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) that is in excess of one hundred eighty million dollars ($180,000,000).

All interest on the loan shall be paid in full at the time the TCRF is repaid pursuant to paragraph (2), and the interest payment shall be transferred from the TCRF to the State Highway Account.

(d) Funds loaned to the TCRF under this section shall be used for purposes consistent with any restrictions on uses of those funds imposed under the California Constitution or by statute. The department shall identify specific projects to which those funds may properly be applied and shall propose that application of funds to the commission. The commission shall designate projects to receive those funds through the processes described in Article 3 (commencing with Section 14556.10) and Article 4 (commencing with Section 14556.25). The department shall report periodically to the commission and the Department of Finance on the expenditure of those funds.

(e) As long as loan balances authorized by this section are outstanding, the Director of Transportation shall report to the commission the amounts of loans outstanding with respect to each fund or account as of the last business day of each quarter.

(f) This section shall become inoperative upon full repayment of loans authorized by this section, and shall be repealed on January 1 of the following year.
