(a) The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall allocate to each school district maintaining a secondary school or county superintendent of schools that offers adult education classes for adults in correctional facilities an amount equal to the actual current expense of the district or county superintendent of schools of maintaining those classes for the fiscal year. The amount so allowed for each unit of average daily attendance in these classes shall in no event exceed the statewide average revenue limit for adults multiplied by 0.8. However, for the 1993–94 and 1994–95 fiscal years, the amount so allowed to a district or county superintendent of schools for each unit of average daily attendance in classes for adults in correctional facilities shall in no event exceed the statewide average revenue limit at which adults in correctional facilities were funded in the 1992–93 fiscal year, as adjusted by any cost-of-living adjustment pursuant to Section 42238.1.

For the purposes of this section “correctional facilities” includes any county jail, county industrial farm, or county or joint county road camp.

Each school district or county superintendent of schools shall receive advanced apportionments as authorized by Sections 41330, 41332, and 41335 on the basis of the cost data report of the district for the preceding fiscal year and each district or county superintendent of schools shall file a preliminary cost data report based upon estimated current expenses.

For purposes of this section, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall, by rules and regulations, establish minimum standards for the conduct of the adult education classes, including, but not necessarily limited to, attendance requirements and requirements concerning records to be kept and reports to be submitted.

Commencing with the 1982–83 fiscal year, the amounts in paragraph (2) shall be cumulatively increased by 6 percent, unless otherwise provided by law. Commencing with the 1990–91 fiscal year, the amounts in paragraph (2) shall be increased by the percentage change determined pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 42238.1.
