Bill Summary

An act to amend Section 46392 of the Education Code, relating to education finance, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately.

AI Summary

This bill, an urgency statute meaning it takes effect immediately, amends existing law to allow local fire agencies, in addition to local law enforcement agencies, to determine the imminence of a major safety hazard that could cause a significant decrease in a school district's, county office of education's, or charter school's average daily attendance (ADA). ADA is a crucial metric used for determining state funding for schools. By expanding the authority to declare such hazards, the bill aims to ensure that schools experiencing attendance drops due to emergencies like wildfires, which pose a major safety risk, can still receive state funding based on their pre-emergency attendance levels. This provision is particularly relevant given the increasing threat of wildfires across the state.
