§ 14005 Attendance Error Adjustments
This law says the money sent to the State School Fund each year has to be fixed if past attendance numbers were wrong, but the fixed amount can never be less than $180 for each student counted the year before.
A school district finds out it reported too few students last year, so it must add extra money to the State School Fund this year.
The superintendent tells the state controller about the mistake, and the extra money is added to the next payment, but the total payment still has to be at least $180 for every student that was counted the previous year.
Minimum Transfer Amount = $180 × Average Daily Attendance (ADA)
The district had an ADA of 500 students last year.
Result: Minimum Transfer = 500 × $180 = $90,000. The district must transfer at least $90,000 even after fixing the attendance error.
