ยง 58146. District Unable to Maintain School for Prescribed Time; Full-Time Equivalent Student Materially Decreased
(a) A district which is prevented from maintaining its schools during a fiscal year for at least 175 days because of fire, flood, or epidemic, or because of any order of any military officer of the United States or of the state to meet an emergency created by war, or of any civil officer of the United States, of the state, or of any county, city and county, or city authorized to issue such order to meet an emergency created by war, or because of other extraordinary conditions, or because of the inability to secure or to hold an instructor, or because of the illness of the instructor, where the lack of an instructor would close a college, which fact shall be shown to the satisfaction of the Board of Governors by the affidavits of the members of the governing board of the district, shall receive the same apportionment from the State School Fund as it would have received had it not been so prevented from maintaining school for at least 175 days.
(b) Where a community college in a district maintaining more than one community college is closed for a part of a term by order of a city or county board of health or of the State Board of Health, or because of fire, flood, impassable roads, epidemic, or other emergency, or by an order provided for in (a), the full-time equivalent student of the community college shall be estimated separately, as provided in (c), and added to the full-time equivalent student of the other community colleges of the district.
(c) Whenever the full-time equivalent student of any district during any fiscal year has been materially decreased during any fiscal year because of:
(1) fire,
(2) flood,
(3) impassable roads,
(4) an epidemic,
(5) the imminence of a major safety hazard as determined by the local law enforcement agency,
(6) a strike involving transportation services to students provided by a nondistrict entity,
(7) the unavailability of classroom facilities leased by the district where the unavailability commences July 1, 2005, or thereafter and is caused by extraordinary factors wholly external to and beyond the control of the district, or
(8) an order provided for in (a). The facts demonstrating the applicability of one of the circumstances described in this subdivision shall be established to the satisfaction of the Chancellor by affidavits of the members of the governing board of the district. The funding workload measures of the district for the fiscal year shall be estimated by the Board of Governors in such manner as to credit to the district from the State School Fund approximately the total which would have been credited to the district had the emergency not occurred or had the order not been issued. The provisions of this section shall apply to any funding workload measure which occurs during any part of a fiscal year.
(d) As a condition to receiving the credit under subdivision (c), the district must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Chancellor that it made good faith efforts to seek alternate facilities that were unaffected by the circumstances described in subdivision (c).
(e) No credit under subdivision (c) will be allowed for the unavailability of facilities for more than one full term beyond the beginning of the circumstances described in subdivision (c) unless authorized by the Board of Governors.
