(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, commencing July 1, 1993, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall determine an adult block entitlement, to be paid from appropriations to Section A of the State School Fund as part of the principal apportionment to school districts, for those school districts that maintain education programs for adults by multiplying the adult education revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance determined pursuant to Section 52616.16 and the adult education average daily attendance determined pursuant to Section 52616.17.
(b) The adult block entitlement shall be deposited in a separate fund of the school district to be known as the “adult education fund.” Money in an adult education fund shall be expended only for adult education purposes. Moneys received for programs other than adult education shall not be expended for adult education.
