Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 2, § 1859.146 - Preliminary Apportionment Funding Priorities

If the amounts of the Preliminary Applications received pursuant to Section 1859.141 exceed the funds available, the Board shall first apportion those Preliminary Applications that will house pupils from Source Schools with the highest pupil density levels. The calculation in (a) through (e) below is made independently for each Source School from which Qualifying Pupils are assigned. All calculations are rounded up to four decimal places. The pupil density level for the Preliminary Application is the amount determined in (f) as follows:

(a) Divide the latest CBEDS enrollment of the Source School by the Useable Acres of the Source School as shown on the CDE Source School List.

(b) Divide the quotient determined in (a) by:

(1) 115 if the Source School is identified as an elementary school on the CDE Source School List.

(2) 90 if the Source School is identified as a middle school or a high school on the CDE Source School List.

(c) Subtract 1 from the quotient determined in (b).

(d) Divide the Source School's Qualifying Pupils by the total Qualifying Pupils assigned.

(e) Multiply the difference determined in (c) by the quotient determined in (d).

(f) Add the product(s) determined in (e) for each Source School the district assigned Qualifying Pupils from to meet the 75 percent requirement in Section 1859.142(c).

All Preliminary Applications received from a district will be processed in the date order received by the OPSC. If more than one Preliminary Application is received on the same day, those applications will be processed by the OPSC based on the priority order assigned to those applications by the district on Form SAB 50-08.

If two or more Preliminary Applications have the same pupil density level, the Board shall first apportion that Preliminary Application that was received first by the OPSC.
