Section 52616.19.

(a) Commencing with the 1993–94 fiscal year, and each fiscal year thereafter, the only funding available for purposes of Sections 52616, 52616.16, 52616.17, and 52616.18 shall be the following:

(1) Funds that would have been apportioned for purposes of Section 52616, as that section read on June 30, 1993.

(2) Funds that would have been apportioned for purposes of concurrently enrolled average daily attendance pursuant to Section 42238.5, as that section read on June 30, 1993.

(3) Funds that would have been available for purposes of adult elementary and secondary independent study average daily attendance pursuant to Section 46300.1, as that section read on June 30, 1993.

(b) In the 1993–94 fiscal year, up to four million two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($4,250,000) shall be available for the start up of new adult education programs pursuant to Section 52616.18. In the 1994–95 fiscal year, up to eight million five hundred thousand dollars ($8,500,000) shall be available for the startup of new adult education programs and the continuation of programs started and funded in the 1993–94 fiscal year. Four million two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($4,250,000) of that amount shall only be available for new adult education programs if there is no deficit applied pursuant to subdivision (c). It is the intent of the Legislature that, commencing in the 1995–96 fiscal year, those adult education programs started and funded in the 1993–94 and 1994–95 fiscal years shall continue to be funded.

(c) If the funds available pursuant to subdivision (a) are not sufficient to fully fund Sections 52616, 52616.16, 52616.17, and 52616.18, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall reduce the adult education apportionment for each district that received funding pursuant to Section 52616.16.

(d) If the funds available pursuant to subdivision (a) exceed the amount needed to fund the purposes specified in Sections 52616, 52616.16, 52616.17, 52616.18, and 52617, the Superintendent shall allocate those excess funds on a one-time basis to a school district operating adult education programs that have exceeded its number of units of authorized adult education average daily attendance in proportion to the excess units of average daily attendance served by each school district for that fiscal year. The Superintendent may not allocate an amount of funds to a school district pursuant to this subdivision that exceeds the total number of units of authorized adult education average daily attendance served by the school district multiplied by the appropriate funding rate per unit of average daily attendance.
