Section 56836.148 - Base grant funding for each special education local plan area(a) For the 2020-21 fiscal year, the Superintendent shall determine the base grant funding for each special education local plan area by multiplying the amount funded per unit of average daily attendance for each special education local plan area computed in subdivision (a) of Section 56836.146 by the funded average daily attendance computed in subdivision (a) Section 56836.144 for the corresponding special education local plan area.(b) For the 2021-22 fiscal year, the Superintendent shall determine the base grant funding for each special education local plan area by multiplying the amount funded per unit of average daily attendance for each special education local plan area computed in subdivision (b) of Section 56836.146 by the funded average daily attendance computed in subdivision (a) of Section 56836.144 for the corresponding special education local plan area.(c) For the 2022-23 fiscal year, the Superintendent shall determine the base grant funding for each special education local plan area by adding the products of the amount funded per unit of average daily attendance for each special education local plan area computed in subdivision (c) of Section 56836.146 multiplied by the funded average daily attendance for each member local educational agency and charter school that is a local educational agency for purposes of special education computed in subdivision (b) of Section 56836.144.(d) Commencing with the 2023-24 fiscal year and for each fiscal year thereafter, the Superintendent shall determine the base grant funding for each special education local plan area by adding the products of the amount funded per unit of average daily attendance for each special education local plan area computed in subdivision (d) of Section 56836.146 multiplied by the funded average daily attendance for each member local educational agency and charter school that is a local educational agency for purposes of special education computed in subdivision (b) of Section 56836.144.(e) For purposes of calculating the base funding for the special education local plan area identified as the Los Angeles County Juvenile Court and Community School/Division of Alternative Education Special Education Local Plan Area, the Superintendent shall make the following computations: (1) For the 2020-21 fiscal year, multiply the amount of funding per unit of average daily attendance computed in paragraph (1) of subdivision (e) of Section 56836.146 by the funded average daily attendance computed in subdivision (a) of Section 56836.144.(2) For the 2021-22 fiscal year, multiply the amount of funding per unit of average daily attendance computed in paragraph (2) of subdivision (e) of Section 56836.146 by the funded average daily attendance computed in subdivision (a) of Section 56836.144.(3) For the 2022-23 fiscal year, multiply the amount of funding per unit of average daily attendance computed in paragraph (3) of subdivision (e) of Section 56836.146 by the funded average daily attendance computed in subdivision (b) of Section 56836.144.(4) Commencing with the 2023-24 fiscal year and for each fiscal year thereafter, multiple the amount of funding per unit of average daily attendance computed in paragraph (4) of subdivision (e) of Section 56836.146 by the funded average daily attendance computed in subdivision (b) of Section 56836.144.(f) Commencing with the 2022-23 fiscal year and for each fiscal year thereafter, the Superintendent shall make publicly available the amount of special education funding each local educational agency generates for their special education local plan area pursuant to subdivisions (c) and (d).(g) Commencing with the 2022-23 fiscal year and for each fiscal year thereafter, each special education local plan area shall report to their member local educational agencies no later than 30 days after receiving their apportionment the amount of funding each local educational agency generates pursuant to subdivisions (c) and (d).(h) For the 2023-24 fiscal year, each special education local plan area shall, at a minimum, allocate special education funding to all of its member local educational agencies equal to the total sum of base grant funding, calculated pursuant to this section, allocated to all of its member local educational agencies in the 2022-23 fiscal year multiplied by the sum of one plus the inflation factor, as defined in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 56836.142 for the 2023-24 fiscal year, and then multiplied by the sum of one plus the percent change in funded average daily attendance of its member local educational agencies from the 2022-23 fiscal year to the 2023-24 fiscal year pursuant to Section 56836.144.(i) Nothing in this section shall prohibit a member local educational agency from allocating funds back to their special education local plan area for purposes of providing regionalized or other programmatic services.Ca.
