(1) Under existing law, the amount of revenue that a district may collect annually for general purposes, called a revenue limit, is calculated in accordance with various statutory formulas. A basic aid school district is a school district where property tax revenues exceed the revenue limit and the district consequently does not receive a state apportionment. Existing law also expresses legislative intent that basic aid school districts assume categorical funding reductions proportionate to the revenue limit reductions implemented for nonbasic aid school districts in the 2008–09 and 2009–10 fiscal years. Existing law requires calculations to implement the funding reductions, including, in specified circumstances, subtracting an amount determined by multiplying each district's 2011–12 fiscal year total revenue limit, subject to a specified deficit factor and calculated as specified, by 8.92%.
