Section 52852.5.

The governing board of each school district shall:

(a) Ensure that the principal of every school receives information covering the provisions of this article, and provides such information to teachers, other school personnel, parents, and, in secondary schools, pupils.

(b) Adopt policies to ensure that, prior to a school beginning to develop a plan pursuant to Section 52853, a school site council as described in Section 52852 is established at the school site to consider whether or not it wishes the local school to participate in the school-based coordination program. The board shall ensure that all interested persons, including, but not limited to, the principal, teachers, other school personnel, parents, and, in secondary schools, pupils have an opportunity to meet in public to establish the council.

(c) Ensure that funds coordinated pursuant to this article are used to supplement, not supplant, existing state and local fiscal efforts and that schools which receive the funds shall have base expenditures comparable to nonparticipating schools.
