Notwithstanding Section 42631, the cost of printing the warrants shall be borne by the district.

No county officer shall be responsible for producing reports, statements, and other data relating to or based on these payments of the expenses of the districts. Those districts issuing warrants as provided by this section shall provide the county superintendent of schools, in the form prescribed by him or her, with the data necessary to make retirement reports and other reports required of him or her by law. All warrants, vouchers, and supporting documents shall be kept by the school districts that draw their own warrants.

Notwithstanding Section 41000, except for assessing and tax collecting, the county auditor and the county treasurer may charge those districts that draw their own warrants for the cost of all fiscal services.

The person authorized by the governing board of the district to issue warrants pursuant to this section shall execute an official bond in an amount fixed by the governing board conditioned upon the faithful performance of his or her duties under this section. A county superintendent of schools or a county auditor shall not be liable under the terms of their bonds or otherwise for any warrant issued pursuant to this section. It is not intended that this provision shall be applied so as to impair the obligation of any contract in the bond of the officer in effect on the effective date of this section.

The listing, which may be magnetic tape, punched cards, or in other form, shall report, among other things, the warrant number, date of the warrant, amount of the warrant, the name of the payee, and the fund on which the warrant is drawn.

The form and content of the warrant listing shall be as prescribed by the governing board and approved by the county auditor having jurisdiction.

Each unified school district or district with over 10,000 average daily attendance that issues warrants pursuant to this section shall furnish monthly to the county superintendent of schools and the county auditor of the county of jurisdiction, upon his or her request, a statement showing for the current fiscal year to date, for each required expenditure classification, the amount budgeted, actual expenditures, encumbrances and unencumbered balances.

In order to obtain the approval of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, a unified school district, or district with over 10,000 average daily attendance, shall file a written application with the county superintendent of schools of jurisdiction. Upon receipt of an application from the district, the county superintendent of schools shall cause a survey to be made of the district’s accounting controls by an independent certified public accountant or public accountant in accordance with standards prescribed by the Controller. The certified public accountant or public accountant shall report his or her findings and recommendations to the county superintendent, county auditor, and to the applicant district.

The county superintendent shall forward the district’s application, together with his or her other recommendations and the recommendations of the county auditor and a report of the survey, to the Superintendent of Public Instruction for approval or disapproval of the application. The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall approve the application only if he or she finds that the accounting controls of the district are adequate. If the Superintendent of Public Instruction determines that these controls are inadequate, he or she shall disapprove the application.

The county superintendent of schools shall be reimbursed for all costs incident to the accounting controls survey made pursuant to the district’s application from the district’s funds.

When approved by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the issuance of warrants pursuant to this section shall be effective at the beginning of the fiscal year if the approval had been made prior to the preceding first day in January.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, except Article 8.5 (commencing with Section 54235) of Chapter 5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5, the disposal of surplus state real property by the Department of General Services shall be subject to the requirements of this section. For purposes of this section, “surplus state real property” means real property declared surplus by the Legislature and directed to be disposed of by the Department of General Services, including any real property previously declared surplus by the Legislature but not yet disposed of by the Department of General Services prior to the enactment of this section.

(b) (1) The department may dispose of surplus state real property by sale, lease, exchange, a sale combined with an exchange, or other manner of disposition of property, as authorized by the Legislature, upon any terms and conditions and subject to any reservations and exceptions the department deems to be in the best interests of the state.

(2) (A) The Legislature finds and declares that the provision of decent housing for all Californians is a state goal of the highest priority. The disposal of surplus state real property is a direct and substantial public purpose of statewide concern and will serve an important public purpose, including mitigating the environmental effects of state activities. Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature that priority be given, as specified in this section, to the disposal of surplus state real property to housing for persons and families of low or moderate income, where land is suitable for housing and there is a need for housing in the community.

(B) Surplus state real property that has been determined by the department not to be needed by any state agency shall be offered to any local agency, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 54221, and then to nonprofit affordable housing sponsors, prior to being offered for sale to private entities or individuals. As used in this section, “nonprofit affordable housing sponsor” means any of the following:

(i) A nonprofit corporation incorporated pursuant to Division 2 (commencing with Section 5000) of Title 1 of the Corporations Code.

(ii) A cooperative housing corporation which is a stock cooperative, as defined by Section 11003.2 of the Business and Professions Code.

(iii) A limited-dividend housing corporation.

(C) The department, subject to this section, shall maintain a list of surplus state real property in a conspicuous place on its internet website. The department shall provide local agencies and, upon request, members of the public, with electronic notification of updates to the list of properties.

(D) To be considered as a potential priority buyer of the surplus state real property, a local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor shall do both of the following:

(i) Notify the department of its interest in the surplus state real property within 90 days of the department posting on its internet website the notice of the availability of the surplus state real property.

(ii) Demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the department, that the surplus state real property, or portion of that surplus state real property, is to be used by the local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor for open space, public parks, affordable housing projects, housing for formerly incarcerated individuals, or development of local government-owned facilities.

(E) When more than one local agency expresses an interest in the surplus state real property, priority shall be given to the local agency that intends to use the surplus state real property for affordable housing or housing for formerly incarcerated individuals. If no agreement or transfer of title occurs, the priority shall next be given to the local agency that intends to use the surplus state real property for open space, public parks, or development of local government-owned facilities. The sales agreement shall be executed by the local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor within 60 days after the director determines the local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor is to receive the surplus state real property. The sale of the surplus state real property to a local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor pursuant to this section shall be completed, and title transferred, within 60 days of the date the department executes the sales agreement, or, if required by law, no later than 60 days after the State Public Works Board has authorized the sale. If the sale of a surplus state real property to a local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor is not completed within the timeframe specified in this subparagraph, then the department shall proceed with the process for disposal to other private entities or individuals. If no local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor informs the department of its interest in acquiring the property within 90 days of the department posting on its internet website the notice of the availability of the surplus state real property, the department shall notify the chairpersons of the fiscal committees of the Legislature within 30 days of the expiration of the initial 90-day timeframe.

(F) Use of surplus state real property, or a portion of that surplus state real property, by a local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor for an affordable housing project pursuant to this section shall be a use by right and shall not constitute a “project” for purposes of Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code.

(c) (1) If more than one local agency desires the surplus state real property for use as an open space, a public park, or the development of a local government-owned facility, the department shall transfer the surplus state real property to the local agency offering the highest price above fair market value. If more than one local agency desires the surplus state real property for use as an affordable housing project or as housing for formerly incarcerated individuals, the department shall transfer the surplus state real property to the local agency offering the greatest number of affordable housing units or units of housing for formerly incarcerated individuals. If more than one nonprofit affordable housing sponsor desires the surplus state real property for use as an affordable housing project or as housing for formerly incarcerated individuals, the department shall transfer the surplus state real property to the nonprofit affordable housing sponsor offering the greatest number of affordable housing units or units of housing for formerly incarcerated individuals.

(2) If no local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor is interested, or an agreement, as provided above, is not reached, then the disposal of the surplus state real property to private entities or individuals shall be pursuant to a public bidding process designed to obtain the highest most certain return for the state from a responsible bidder, and any transaction based on such a bidding process shall be deemed to be the fair market value for the purposes of the reporting requirements pursuant to subdivision (d).

(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the department may sell surplus state real property, or a portion of surplus state real property, to a local agency, or to a nonprofit affordable housing sponsor if no local agency is interested in the surplus state real property, for affordable housing projects or housing for formerly incarcerated individuals at a sales price less than fair market value if the department determines that such a discount will enable the provision of housing for persons and families of low or moderate income or formerly incarcerated individuals. Nothing shall preclude a local agency that purchases the surplus state real property for affordable housing or housing for formerly incarcerated individuals from reconveying the surplus state real property to a nonprofit affordable housing sponsor for development of affordable housing or housing for formerly incarcerated individuals. Transfer of title to the surplus state real property or lease of the surplus state real property for affordable housing or housing for formerly incarcerated individuals shall be conditioned upon continued use of the surplus state real property as housing for persons and families of low and moderate income or formerly incarcerated individuals for at least 40 years and the department shall record a regulatory agreement that imposes affordability covenants, conditions, and restrictions on the surplus state real property. The regulatory agreement shall be a first priority lien on the surplus state real property and last for a period of at least 40 years, and if another state agency is lending funds for a project, a combined regulatory agreement shall be utilized. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the regulatory agreement shall not be subordinated to any other lien or encumbrance except for any federal loan program the statutes or regulations of which require a first priority lien for that federal loan.

(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Director of General Services may transfer surplus state real property to a local agency for less than fair market value if the local agency uses the surplus state real property for parks or open-space purposes. The deed or other instrument of transfer shall provide that the surplus state real property would revert to the state if the use changed to a use other than parks or open-space purposes during the period of 25 years after the transfer date. For the purpose of this paragraph, “open-space purposes” means the use of land for public recreation, enjoyment of scenic beauty, or conservation or use of natural resources.

(d) Thirty days prior to executing a transaction for a sale, lease, exchange, a sale combined with an exchange, or other manner of disposition of the surplus state real property for less than fair market value or for affordable housing or housing for formerly incarcerated individuals, or as authorized by the Legislature, the Director of General Services shall report to the chairpersons of the fiscal committees of the Legislature all of the following:

(1) The financial terms of the transaction.

(2) A comparison of fair market value for the surplus state real property and the terms listed in paragraph (1).

(3) The basis for agreeing to terms and conditions other than fair market value.

(e) As to surplus state real property sold or exchanged pursuant to this section, the director shall except and reserve to the state all mineral deposits, as described in Section 6407 of the Public Resources Code, together with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the deposits. If, however, the director determines that there is little or no potential for mineral deposits, the reservation may be without surface right of entry above a depth of 500 feet, or the rights to prospect for, mine, and remove the deposits shall be limited to those areas of the surplus state real property conveyed that the director determines to be reasonably necessary for the removal of the deposits.

(f) The failure to comply with this section, except for subdivision (d), shall not invalidate the transfer or conveyance of surplus state real property to a purchaser for value.

(g) For purposes of this section, fair market value is established by an appraisal and economic evaluation conducted by the department or approved by the department.

Section 16279.1
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds and declares that Article XIII A of the Constitution, as added by the adoption of Proposition 13 on the ballot at the Direct Primary Election held on June 6, 1978, has substantially reduced the property tax revenues of many special districts, and that the remaining revenues, together with state assistance made available for special districts for the 1978–79 fiscal year, will not, in some instances, be sufficient to adequately finance the operation of special districts for the remainder of the 1978–79 fiscal year.

The Legislature further recognizes that there is a need to reduce the cost of local government and to provide local services in the most cost efficient manner possible. The Legislature urges all special districts to examine the services which they provide, to determine if such services duplicate those services provided by another public agency within the same service area, to determine which services could be eliminated or reduced, and to determine what steps can be taken, including, but not limited to, the consolidation of such districts or the realignment of their boundaries, so as to reduce the cost of providing services.

The purpose of this article is to provide financial assistance to those special districts which will be without sufficient funds to adequately provide services during the remainder of the 1978–79 fiscal year. The Legislature intends that only those special districts which have made a concerted effort to reduce their costs during the 1978–79 fiscal year shall be considered eligible to receive additional financial assistance for the remainder of such fiscal year. It is the intent of the Legislature that boards of supervisors, in distributing funds among eligible special districts, shall make such distribution to districts in such a manner that each district receives an amount commensurate with its 1978–79 revenue loss relative to the similar losses of other eligible districts within the county.

School nurses strengthen and facilitate the educational process by improving and protecting the health status of children and by identification and assistance in the removal or modification of health-related barriers to learning in individual children. The major focus of school health services is the prevention of illness and disability, and the early detection and correction of health problems. The school nurse is especially prepared and uniquely qualified in preventive health, health assessment, and referral procedures.

Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the scope of professional practice or otherwise to change the legal scope of practice for any registered nurse or other licensed healing arts practitioner. Rather, it is the intent of the Legislature to provide positively for the health services, many of which may be performed in the public schools only by physicians and school nurses. School nurses may perform, if authorized by the local governing board, the following services:

(a) Conduct immunization programs pursuant to Section 49403 and assure that every pupil’s immunization status is in compliance with the law, including parental or guardian consent, and good health practice.

(b) Assess and evaluate the health and developmental status of pupils to identify specific physical disorders and other factors relating to the learning process, communicate with the primary care provider, and contribute significant information in order to modify the pupils’ educational plans.

(c) Interpret the health and developmental assessment to parents, teachers, administrators, and other professionals directly concerned with the pupil.

(d) Design and implement a health maintenance plan to meet the individual health needs of the students, incorporating plans directed by a physician.

(e) Refer the pupil and his or her parent or guardian to appropriate community resources for necessary services.

(f) Maintain communication with parents and all involved community practitioners and agencies to promote needed treatment and secure reports of findings pertinent to educational planning.

(g) Interpret medical and nursing findings appropriate to the student’s individual educational plan and make recommendations to professional personnel directly involved.

(h) Consult with, conduct in-service training to, and serve as a resource person to teachers and administrators, and act as a participant in implementing any section or sections of a comprehensive health instruction curriculum for students by providing current scientific information regarding nutrition, preventive dentistry, mental health, genetics, prevention of communicable diseases, self-health care, consumer education, and other areas of health.

(i) Counsel pupils and parents by:

(1) Assisting children and youth, parents, and school personnel in identifying and utilizing appropriate and mutually acceptable private and community health delivery services for professional care and remediation of defects.

(2) Counseling with parents, pupils and school staff regarding health-related attendance problems.

(3) Helping parents, school personnel and pupils understand and adjust to physical, mental and social limitations.

(4) Exploring with families and pupils, attitudes, information and values which affect their health behavior.

(j) Assist parents and pupils to solve financial, transportation and other barriers to needed health services.

The holder of a services credential with a specialization in health for a school nurse who also completes the requirements for a special class authorization in health in a program that is approved by the commission is authorized to teach classes on health in a preschool, kindergarten, grades 1 to 12, inclusive, and classes organized primarily for adults.

(a) (1) Notwithstanding Section 42238.5 or any other law, a school district that meets any of the following conditions shall be entitled to an adjustment to its units of average daily attendance pursuant to this section:

(A) The school district experiences a decline in the number of units of average daily attendance in excess of 8 percent of its total average daily attendance as a result of the closure of a facility operated by a branch of the United States Armed Forces in the school district’s boundaries.

(B) The school district experiences a decline in the number of units of average daily attendance that is less than 8 percent but at least 5 percent of its total average daily attendance as a result of the closure of a facility operated by a branch of the United States Armed Forces in that school district’s boundaries, upon a finding by both the Superintendent and the Director of Finance that both of the following conditions exist:

(i) The school district demonstrates that at the end of a three-year period the school district will experience a 10-percent reduction in the amount of funding that the school district would otherwise have received from state apportionments, funding received pursuant to the California State Lottery Act of 1984 (Chapter 12.5 (commencing with Section 8880) of Division 1 of Title 2 of the Government Code), and funding received pursuant to federal Title VIII of Public Law 103-382, as a result of the loss of pupils related to the closure of a facility operated by a branch of the United States Armed Forces.

(ii) The fiscal crisis and management assistance team established pursuant to Section 42127.8 has reviewed the school district’s finances and has found that the school district has taken significant steps to reduce expenditure.

(C) The school district experiences a decline in the number of units of average daily attendance in excess of 5 percent of its total average daily attendance and the Director of Finance determines that the school district is likely, within eight years of that decline, to maintain a number of units of average daily attendance that is equivalent to the number of units of average daily attendance maintained by the school district before the decline. Notwithstanding subdivision (b), loan repayments shall commence no later than the fourth year after the base year or at a later time, as determined by the Director of Finance.

(2) For purposes of this section, the year preceding a decline shall be the base year.

(b) In the second year after the base year, the district average daily attendance pursuant to Section 42238.5 may, if the school district chooses, be increased by 75 percent of the difference between the base year units of average daily attendance and the units of average daily attendance in the first year of decline. In the third year after the base year, the school district average daily attendance pursuant to Section 42238.5 may, if the school district chooses, be increased by 50 percent of the difference between the base year units of average daily attendance and the units of average daily attendance in the first year of decline. The amount of money represented by these increases shall be considered a loan to the school district. Loan repayments shall commence no later than the fourth year after the base year.

(c) (1) The Superintendent, in consultation with a school district subject to this section, shall determine a schedule for repayment of the total amount loaned pursuant to this section that may not exceed 10 years. Payments shall include interest charged at a rate based on the most current investment rate of the Pooled Money Investment Account in the General Fund as of the date of the disbursement of funds to the school district.

(2) Upon written notification by the Superintendent that the school district has not made one or more of the payments required by the schedule established pursuant to paragraph (1), the Controller shall withhold from Section A of the State School Fund the defaulted payment that shall not exceed the amount of any apportionment entitlement of the school district to moneys in Section A of the State School Fund. In that regard, the Controller shall withhold the amount of any payment made under this subdivision, including reimbursement of the Controller’s administrative costs as determined under a schedule approved by the California Debt Advisory Commission, from subsequent apportionments to the school district from Section A of the State School Fund.

(3) Any apportionments made by the Controller pursuant to paragraph (2) shall be deemed to be an allocation to the school district for purposes of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, and for purposes of Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 41200) of Part 24.

(d) In no event shall the adjustment provided by this section cause the apportionment to a school district to exceed the amount that would otherwise be calculated for apportionment to the school district pursuant to Sections 42238 and 42238.1.

(e) This section does not apply to a school district that experiences a decline in enrollment as a result of a school district reorganization pursuant to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 35500) of Part 21 or any other law.

(f) Commencing with the 2013–14 fiscal year, this section shall be used only for purposes of allocating revenues received pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (e) of Section 36 of Article XIII of the California Constitution.

(g) This section shall become inoperative on July 1, 2033, and, as of January 1, 2034, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that becomes operative on or before January 1, 2034, deletes or extends the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed.
