(1) Compton College is accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education.
(2) The Compton Community College District is under the governing authority of the Board of Trustees of the Compton Community College District.
(b) If the number of full-time equivalent students (FTES) of the community college district decreases from the number in the 2017–18 fiscal year, the board of governors shall provide revenues to the community college district, as follows:
(1) For the first fiscal year Compton College is accredited under the governing authority of the Board of Trustees of the Compton Community College District, an amount not less than the total amount that the community college district would receive if the level of attendance of FTES was the same level of attendance as in the 2017–18 fiscal year.
(2) For the second fiscal year after Compton College is accredited under the governing authority of Compton Community College District Board of Trustees, an amount not less than 95 percent of the total amount that the community college district would receive if the level of attendance of FTES was the same level of attendance as in the 2017–18 fiscal year.
(3) For the third fiscal year after Compton College is accredited under the governing authority of Compton Community College District, an amount not less than 90 percent of the total amount that the community college district would receive if the level of attendance of FTES was the same level of attendance as in the 2017–18 fiscal year.
(4) For the fourth fiscal year after Compton College is accredited under the governing authority of Compton Community College District, an amount not less than 85 percent of the total amount that the community college district would receive if the level of attendance of FTES was the same level of attendance as in the prior 2017–18 year.
(c) The amounts calculated pursuant to subdivision (b) shall be adjusted by the chancellor to reflect cost-of-living adjustments, deficits in apportionments, or both, as appropriate for the applicable fiscal years.
(d) Subdivision (b) shall only be used to determine the apportionment funding to be allocated to the Compton Community College District. In computing statewide entitlements to funding based upon the attendance of FTES, the Compton Community College District shall not be credited with more FTES than were actually enrolled and in attendance.
(e) Subdivision (b) shall only be operative for a fiscal year in which the Compton College is in compliance with Section 70902.
(f) It is the intent of the Legislature that any amounts necessary to make the apportionments required pursuant to subdivision (b) be drawn from the state general apportionment revenues for community college districts.
