Section 56428 - Use of instructional personnel service units(a) For the 1985-86 fiscal year, and each fiscal year thereafter, any instructional personnel service unit that was used in the prior fiscal year to provide services to children younger than three years of age shall continue to be used for that purpose. If a special education local plan area becomes ineligible for all or any portion of those instructional personnel service units operated and fundable in the prior fiscal year, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall allocate those units to another local plan area for the purpose of providing services to children younger than three years of age.(b) In the 1998-99 fiscal year, the instructional personnel service unit rates used to compute state funding under this chapter shall be adjusted to represent the actual, historic inflation adjustment amount funded for each provider of early education services under this chapter. To make this adjustment, the superintendent shall make the following calculation:(1) Divide the amount of funding received by the special education local plan area in the 1997-98 fiscal year from property taxes and state aid, after applying the deficit, for early education for individuals with exceptional needs by the amount the special education local plan area was entitled to receive for the 1997-98 fiscal year for that program.(2) Multiply the amount determined in paragraph (1) by the instructional personnel service unit rates for the 1997-98 fiscal year used to compute state funding for early education for individuals with exceptional needs prior to the application of the inflation adjustment for the 1998-99 fiscal year.(c) For the 1998-99 fiscal year, the department shall transfer an amount from schedule (a) to schedule (b) of Item 6110-161-0001 of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 1998, equal to the amount determined by the department, with the approval of the Department of Finance, to be the amount of funding received by the special education local plan area from property taxes in the 1997-98 fiscal year for early education programs for individuals with exceptional needs, multiplied by the inflation factor computed pursuant to Section 42238.1 for the 1998-99 fiscal year and adjusted for the estimated growth in average daily attendance for kindergarten and grades 1 to 12, inclusive, pursuant to the May Revision of the Governor's Budget for the 1998-99 fiscal year.Amended by Stats. 1998, Ch. 330, Sec. 12.
