(a) For the 2013–14 fiscal year, the Superintendent shall compute an equalization adjustment for each special education local plan area, exclusive of the special education local plan area identified as the Los Angeles County Juvenile Court and Community School/Division of Alternative Education Special Education Local Plan Area, so that the special education funding rate per unit of average daily attendance calculated pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 56836.10 of a special education local plan area is not less than the special education funding rate per unit of average daily attendance calculated pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 56836.10 that does not fall below more than 10 percent of the total statewide units of average daily attendance for each special education local plan area.

(b) The Superintendent shall compute an equalization adjustment for each special education local plan area’s special education funding rate per unit of average daily attendance, exclusive of the special education local plan area identified as the Los Angeles County Juvenile Court and Community School/Division of Alternative Education Special Education Local Plan Area, as follows:

(1) Multiply the amount computed for each special education local plan area pursuant to subdivision (a) by the average daily attendance used to calculate the special education local plan area’s special education funding for the 2013–14 fiscal year.

(2) Divide the amount appropriated for purposes of this section for the 2013–14 fiscal year by the statewide sum of the amount computed pursuant to paragraph (1).

(3) Multiply the amount computed for the special education local plan area pursuant to subdivision (a) by the amount computed pursuant to paragraph (2).

(c) For purposes of this section, the statewide 90th percentile special education funding rate determined pursuant to subdivision (a), and the fraction computed pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) for the 2012–13 second principal apportionment, shall be final, and shall not be recalculated at subsequent apportionments. The fraction computed pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) shall not exceed 1.00.
