Section 42239.

(a) For each fiscal year the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall compute funding for supplemental instruction for each school district or charter school by multiplying the number of pupil hours of supplemental instruction claimed pursuant to Sections 37252 and 37252.2 by the pupil hour allowance specified in subdivision (b) or by a pupil hour allowance specified in the annual Budget Act in lieu of the amount computed in subdivision (b).

(b) Hours of supplemental instruction shall be reimbursed at a rate of three dollars and fifty-three cents ($3.53) per pupil hour, adjusted in the 2005–06 fiscal year and subsequent fiscal years as specified in this section, provided that a different reimbursement rate may be specified for each fiscal year in the annual Budget Act that appropriates funding for that fiscal year. This amount shall be increased annually by the percentage increase pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 42238.1 granted to school districts or charter schools for base revenue limit cost-of-living increases.

(c) (1) If appropriated funding is insufficient to pay all claims made in any fiscal year pursuant to Sections 37252 and 37252.2, the superintendent shall use any available funding appropriated for the purposes of reimbursing school districts pursuant to Section 37252 or 37252.2.

(2) If appropriated funding is still insufficient to pay all claims made in any fiscal year pursuant to Section 37252 or 37252.2, the superintendent shall use any available funding appropriated for the purposes of reimbursing school districts for supplemental instruction in the prior fiscal year.

(3) If appropriated funding is still insufficient to pay all claims made in any fiscal year pursuant to Section 37252 or 37252.2, the superintendent shall use any available funding appropriated for the purposes of reimbursing school districts for supplemental instruction in the current fiscal year.

(4) The superintendent shall notify the Director of Finance that there is an insufficiency of funding appropriated for the purposes of Sections 37252 and 37252.2 only after the superintendent has exhausted all available balances of appropriations made for the current or prior fiscal years for the reimbursement of school districts for supplemental instruction.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, neither the State Board of Education nor the Superintendent of Public Instruction may waive any provision of this section.
