Section 42238.41.

(a) For the 1996–97 fiscal year, the county superintendent of schools, in conjunction with the Superintendent of Public Instruction, shall compute an equalization adjustment for each school district in the county, so that no district's 1995–96 base revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance is less than the 1995–96 fiscal year statewide average base revenue limit for the appropriate size and type of district listed in subdivision (b).

For purposes of this section, the district base revenue limit and the statewide average base revenue limit shall not include any amounts attributable to Section 45023.4, 46200, or 46201.

(b) Subdivision (a) shall apply to the following school districts, which shall be grouped according to size and type as follows:

District	ADA
Elementary  ........................	less than 101
Elementary   ........................	more than 100
High School  ........................	less than 301
High School  ........................	more than 300
Unified  ........................	less than 1,501
Unified  ........................	more than 1,500

(c) The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall compute a revenue limit equalization adjustment for each school district's base revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance as follows:

(1) Add the products of the amount computed for each school district by the county superintendent pursuant to subdivision (a) and the average daily attendance used to calculate the district's revenue limit for the current fiscal year as adjusted for the deficit factor in Section 42238.145.

(2) Divide the amount appropriated for purposes of this section for the current fiscal year by the amount computed pursuant to paragraph (1).

(3) Multiply the amount computed for the school district pursuant to subdivision (a) by the amount computed pursuant to paragraph (2).

(d) For the purposes of this section, the 1995–96 statewide average base revenue limits determined for the purposes of subdivision (a) and the fraction computed pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) by the Superintendent of Public Instruction for the 1995–96 second principal apportionment shall be final, and shall not be recalculated at subsequent apportionments. In no event shall the fraction computed pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) exceed 1.00. For the purposes of determining the size of a district used in subdivision (b), county superintendents of schools, in conjunction with the Superintendent of Public Instruction, shall use a school district's revenue limit average daily attendance for the 1995–96 fiscal year as determined pursuant to Section 42238.5 and Article 4 (commencing with Section 42280).
