Section 1863.5 - Priorities(a) The Board determines it is in the interests of the pupils of the state generally to give priority consideration to those districts which will not have their resources diminished by deductions from the State School Fund attributable to apportionments which they are unable to recoup because of the limiting effect of Article XIII.A of the Constitution.(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of these regulations, for the purpose of making apportionments or of the release of funds under apportionments already made where such latter funds have been encumbered by binding obligations on the part of the districts, applicant districts shall be divided into Groups A, B and C. (1) Group A shall consist of those districts which the Executive Officer reasonably determines will be able to levy offset taxes over and above the 1% limitation provided by Section 1(a) of Article XIII.A of the Constitution to replace the full amount of deductions from the State School Fund apportionments attributable to the apportionments requested or to the release of apportioned funds.(2) Group B consists of those districts which do not fall within Group A but which have legally binding obligations or commitments with respect to funds not yet released.(3) Group C consists of districts which do not fall within either Groups A or B.(c) Groups A and B shall have first and equal priority and shall be accommodated on a first come first served basis subject to the provision of Subsection (d) hereof.(d) In any cases when the Board finds that the application of this regulation inequitable or would result in an undue hardship on the pupils of the districts affected as compared with pupils of other districts, irrespective of the group in which such other districts fall, the Board may make exceptions to this regulation.Cal.
