Enrollment of these pupils shall be transferred to the school district of residence for purposes of calculating the percentage of unduplicated pupils pursuant to Section 42238.02.

(b) For purposes of this section, the school district of residence for a homeless child or youth, as defined in Section 11434a(2) of the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. Sec. 11301 et seq.), enrolled in a school operated by a county superintendent of schools shall be deemed to be the school district that last provided educational services to the homeless child or youth or, if it is not possible to determine that school district, the nonbasic aid school district with the largest average daily attendance in the county that serves the grade level in which the homeless child or youth would be enrolled.

(c) If a county superintendent of schools grants permission to a pupil to attend school in an adjoining state pursuant to Section 2000, attendance generated by that pupil shall be credited to the school district of residence.

(d) Commencing with the 2019–20 fiscal year, the Superintendent shall transfer to the county, wherein a pupil is enrolled, the amount calculated for the school district of residence pursuant to subdivisions (d) to (f), inclusive, of Section 42238.02 for each unit of average daily attendance credited to the school district of residence pursuant to this section. The Superintendent may transfer an alternative amount for each unit of average daily attendance credited to the school district of residence pursuant to this section, if the school district of residence and the county superintendent of schools agree to the alternative amount and report it to the Superintendent under procedures and timeframes established by the Superintendent.
