46303. (a) If any computation of average daily attendance made
under, or necessitated by, any provision of law, results in a
fraction of less than one-half of a unit, the average daily
attendance shall be taken as the next lowest whole number, except
that if such computation results in an average daily attendance of
less than one unit, the average daily attendance shall be deemed to
be one unit; but if the fraction is one-half or more of a unit, the
average daily attendance shall be taken as the next highest whole
number.
(b) Whenever any reference is made to a specific whole number of
units of average daily attendance said number shall include any
fraction above said number which is less than one-half of a unit, and
any fraction of one-half or more of a unit above the next lowest
whole number.
46304. (a) Notwithstanding anything in this code to the contrary
when as a result of the unification or other reorganization of school
districts, or the change of school district boundaries, and if the
Superintendent of Public Instruction determines that a school
district in which pupils reside does not have suitable facilities in
which to maintain school for all the day pupils of the district, or
that for other good and sufficient reasons the education of pupils in
the district in which they reside is not practical or in the best
interests of the pupils, the governing board of the district of
residence shall contract with the governing board of another school
district for the education of those pupils for whom suitable
facilities are not available, or who should be educated in another
district, as determined by the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
(b) Except as provided in subdivision (b) of Section 46607 and
Sections 46610 and 46611, the average daily attendance of pupils
attending a district other than the district in which they reside
pursuant to a contract described in subdivision (a) shall be credited
to the district of attendance for apportionment purposes.
(c) Any reorganization proposal approved by the State Board of
Education on or before December 31, 1994, shall be governed by
Section 46304 as it existed on December 31, 1994.

Wednesday of each school month and the actual attendance on the third
Wednesday of each school month; except that if such day is a school
holiday, the active enrollment and actual attendance of the first
immediate preceding schoolday shall be reported. "Active enrollment"
on a day a count is taken means the pupils in enrollment in the
regular schooldays of the district on the first day of the school
year on which the schools were in session, plus all later enrollees,
minus all withdrawals since that day.
46306. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the average

pursuant to Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 56300) of Part 30,
enrolled in a special day class or given instruction individually or
in a home, hospital, or licensed children's institution who attend
school for either the same number of minutes that constitutes a
minimum schoolday pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with Section
46100), or for the number of minutes of attendance specified in that
pupil's individualized education program developed pursuant to
Article 3 (commencing with Section 56340) of Chapter 4 of Part 30,
whichever is less, shall constitute a day of attendance.
46307.1. The computation of average daily attendance pursuant to
this chapter shall not include the attendance of minors between the
ages of 18 months and three years, inclusive, enrolled in programs
operated by a county superintendent of schools who are physically
