		<ns0:DigestText>
			<html:p>Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district that determines during a fiscal year that its revenues are less than the amount necessary to meet its current year expenditure obligations to request an emergency apportionment through the Superintendent of Public Instruction, subject to specified requirements. Existing law authorizes emergency apportionments to be provided through an interim loan from the General Fund and lease financing made available by the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank, which is authorized to issue bonds for purposes of the emergency apportionments and related costs, or as an alternative to lease financing, as an emergency apportionment from the General Fund. Existing law prescribes the financing conditions on emergency apportionments, including the calculation of the interest rate.</html:p>
			<html:p>Existing law, notwithstanding any other law, authorizes the Inglewood Unified School District, through the State Department of Education, to request cashflow loans from the General Fund for a total of up to $55,000,000 for emergency operational purposes, as provided. Existing law requires the interest on these loans to be charged at the annual rate of return of the Pooled Money Investment Account, plus an
			 additional 2%.</html:p>
			<html:p>This bill, notwithstanding any other law, and once the Inglewood Unified School District has successfully repaid at least 10 years of a General Fund cashflow loan made pursuant to those provisions, would authorize the school district to seek, and would require the Department of Finance to grant, a waiver of interest on that loan for the next succeeding fiscal year if specified conditions are met, including, among other conditions, that the Los Angeles County Superintendent of Schools, in consultation with the County Office Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team, determines that the school district is making substantial progress towards fiscal solvency and that a waiver of interest would help the school district to exit receivership, as provided. In each subsequent fiscal year, the bill would authorize the school district to seek, and would require the Department of Finance to grant, a subsequent waiver of interest for the applicable fiscal year
			 if the school district again meets those same requirements. To the extent the bill would impose additional duties on the Los Angeles County Superintendent of Schools, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.</html:p>
			<html:p>This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Inglewood Unified School District.</html:p>
			<html:p>The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.</html:p>
			<html:p>This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.</html:p>

									<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
									Notwithstanding any other law, once the Inglewood Unified School District has successfully repaid at least 10 years of a General Fund cashflow loan made pursuant to Section 83 of Chapter 48 of the Statutes of 2013, as amended by Section 57 of Chapter 357 of the Statutes of 2013, the school district may seek, and the Department of Finance shall grant, a waiver of interest on that loan for the next succeeding fiscal year if both of the following conditions are met:
								</html:p>
								<html:p>
									(1)
									<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
									In conjunction with the filing of the school district’s second interim financial report pursuant to Section 42130, the Inglewood Unified School District notifies the Los Angeles County Superintendent of Schools and the County Office Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance
						  Team of their intent to seek a waiver of interest for the next succeeding fiscal year. A copy of the notification shall also be sent, consistent with Section 9795 of the Government Code, to the Assembly Committee on Education, the Senate Committee on Education, the Assembly Committee on Budget, the Senate Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, and the Department of Finance.
								</html:p>
								<html:p>
									(2)
									<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
									The Los Angeles County Superintendent of Schools, in consultation with the County Office Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team, determines that the school district is making substantial progress towards fiscal solvency and a waiver of interest would help the school district to exit receivership, based on the successful completion of all of the following:
								</html:p>
								<html:p>
									(A)
									<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
									Meeting the requirements for qualified or positive certification for the school district’s second interim report pursuant to Article 3
						  (commencing with Section 42130) of Chapter 6.
								</html:p>
								<html:p>
									(B)
									<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
									Completing comprehensive operational reviews that compare the needs of the school district with similar school districts and provide data and recommendations regarding changes the school district can make to achieve fiscal sustainability.
								</html:p>
								<html:p>
									(C)
									<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
									Undergoing an annual independent audit pursuant to Section 41020 and submitting a fiscal recovery plan to the Los Angeles County Superintendent of Schools detailing the steps taken to address any material weaknesses or internal control deficiencies.
								</html:p>
								<html:p>
									(b)
									<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
									For each subsequent fiscal year after the initial waiver of interest, the Inglewood Unified School District may seek, and the Department of Finance shall grant, a subsequent waiver of interest for the applicable fiscal year if the school district again meets the requirements of
						  paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (a) for each waiver.
