Section 2550.4.

(a) Effective July 1, 1998, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall make one-time adjustments to the revenue limits per unit of average daily attendance of each county office of education for those programs which, prior to July 1, 1998, were authorized in Section 46010 as it read on July 1, 1996, to include certain absences in reports of attendance made pursuant to Section 41601. Those one-time adjustments shall apply for the 1998–99 fiscal year, and for each fiscal year thereafter, but not for any year prior to 1998–99, and shall be accomplished by revision of the prior fiscal year revenue limits per unit of average daily attendance calculated for those programs, as follows:

(1) Determine revised revenue limits per unit of average daily attendance for the 1996–97 fiscal year for each of the programs. Each revised revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance shall equal funding received for the program for the 1996–97 fiscal year that is directly attributable to the original revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance, divided by the attendance, excluding absences excused pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 46010 as it read on July 1, 1996, reported pursuant to Section 41601 for that program in the 1996–97 fiscal year.

(2) For the 1996–97 and 1997–98 fiscal years, recalculate the revenue limits per unit of average daily attendance for each program to reflect the revision in the revenue limits per unit of average daily attendance determined pursuant to paragraph (1).

(3) The calculation made pursuant to paragraph (2) shall not be used for apportionment purposes for either of those years or for adjustments for those years.

(b) If any county superintendent of schools demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Superintendent of Public Instruction that, because of extraordinary circumstances beyond the control of the county office of education, the amount of absences excused in one or more county office programs in fiscal year 1996–97 pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 46010 as it read on July 1, 1996, was significantly lower than it would ordinarily have been in comparison to the amount of actual attendance in fiscal year 1996–97, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall make a compensating adjustment, consistent with the provisions of Section 2 of the Education Code, in the calculation set forth in this section.
