Long Beach Unified School District Local Control Funding Formula August 28, 2013

Local Control Funding Formula Arguments for a new formula. Current system –Is too complex –Is not tied to student demographics –Is largely state-controlled –Lacks appropriate accountability measures.

Local Control Funding Formula Based on research that suggests three critical components of any weighted student formula: –Students living in poverty –Students who are English Language Learners –Additional funding if there is a concentration of needy students. Tipping point is 50% of population

Summary of LCFF Will provide an additional $19M in funding to LBUSD in Full implementation will likely take eight or more years More flexibility in use of funds; more accountability to local stakeholders

Cautions about LCFF Funding for the LCFF beyond seven years is uncertain –Sales Tax component of Prop 30 is for 4 years –Income Tax component of Prop 30 is for 7 years There is no requirement for the State to fund the LCFF in any specific time frame. Structural Deficit still remains ($20+M) The economy runs in cycles. It is unlikely that California will have 11 consecutive years of “recovery”.
