Cal. Code Regs. tit. 2 § 1859.50

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 49, December 6, 2024

Section 1859.50 - Calculations to Determine New Construction Baseline Eligibility

The district shall calculate its eligibility determination by completion of the Form SAB 50-03. Eligibility determination for New Construction Grant(s) may be requested on either a district-wide basis, a HSAA or Super HSAA basis.

If a district requests to have its eligibility determination made on a district-wide basis, eligibility for future grants in the district must be filed on the same basis for a period of five years from the date the district received an apportionment that was justified by eligibility determined on a district-wide basis.

If a district requests to re-file its eligibility determination from district-wide to HSAA to Super HSAA after the five year time period has elapsed, the existing school building capacity in the HSAA or Super HSAA will be determined based on the classrooms available in the HSAA or Super HSAA at the time of the initial district-wide request for eligibility determination. Once the baseline eligibility has been determined for the HSAA or Super HSAA, it will be adjusted for classrooms constructed, funded or acquired in that HSAA or Super HSAA as provided by Section 1859.51.

If the district requests to have its eligibility determination made on a HSAA or Super HSAA, it must meet the criteria of Section 1859.41.

The calculated eligibility on the Form SAB 50-03, is the initial eligibility of the district, the HSAA or Super HSAA and shall be referenced as the baseline eligibility for future SFP funding. The baseline eligibility is the basis for filing Form SAB 50-04, for a new construction SFP grant.

If a special education program and the title to the related facilities is transferred between a school district and county office of education after the baseline eligibility was established by the Board, the following shall be required if the title transfer took place after January 1, 2007, or if requested by the school district and county office of education due to a title transfer that took place prior to January 1, 2007:

(a) The sending School District's existing school building capacity shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 1859.51(r).

(b) The receiving School District's existing school building capacity shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 1859.51(i).

(c) The sending School District's enrollment projection shall be adjusted pursuant to Education Code Section 17071.75(f).

(d) The receiving School District shall remit to the State a proportionate share of any financial hardship assistance provided for the project as described in Section 1859.106.

For purposes of this paragraph, the transfer of title to facilities shall also include:

(1) A pre-existing lease, for the duration of more than five years whether in a single lease or cumulative total of several leases, of the receiving School District's facilities by the sending School District that is terminated after transfer of the special education program takes place.

(2) A lease, for the duration of more than five years whether in a single lease or cumulative total of several leases, of the sending School District's facilities by the receiving School District.

There shall not be any further adjustments made as result of any subsequent transfers of that program for a period of five years from the date of the initial transfer or before all applicable funds have been remitted to the State as a result of the initial transfer. Both School Districts shall submit a Form SAB 50-01 for enrollment changes immediately upon transfer of title.

A district affected by a reorganization election on or after November 4, 1998 may file an application for a determination of new construction baseline eligibility after a successful reorganization election.
