California Code, Education Code - EDC § 41325

Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) The Legislature finds and declares that when a school district becomes insolvent and requires an emergency apportionment from the state in the amount designated in this article, it is necessary that the county superintendent of schools, under the supervision of the Superintendent, assume control of the school district in order to ensure the school district's return to fiscal solvency.

(b) It is the intent of the Legislature that an administrator, appointed pursuant to Section 41326, do all of the following:

(1) Implement substantial changes in the school district's fiscal policies and practices, including, if necessary, the filing of a petition under Chapter 9 of the federal Bankruptcy Code for the adjustment of indebtedness.

(2) Revise the school district's educational program to reflect realistic income projections, in response to the dramatic effect of the changes in fiscal policies and practices upon educational program quality and the potential for the success of all pupils.

(3) Encourage all members of the school community to accept a fair share of the burden of the school district's fiscal recovery.

(4) Consult, for the purposes described in this subdivision, with the school district governing board, the exclusive representatives of the employees of the school district, parents, and the community.

(5) Consult with and seek recommendations from the county superintendent of schools and the Superintendent for the purposes described in this subdivision.

(c) For purposes of this article, the county superintendent of schools, the Superintendent, and the president of the state board or his or her designee may also appoint a trustee with the powers and responsibilities of an administrator, as set forth in this article.
