Education Receives More... For the first time in five years - an increase in funding Revenue limit deficit still more than 20% The Governor continues to deal with the “wall of debt” Proposition 98 guarantee could grow at 3.4% to 5.3% rate over the next several years Other forecasts have proven to be overly optimistic Manipulations of Proposition 98 could strangle education funding Glory years funded by highly educated workforce

Distribution Method is Different Slightly higher funding – New method of distribution – the LCFF Revenue limits and categorical programs are replaced by base grants and supplemental grants over a phase-in period The stated goal is to focus more resources on California’s most needy students

State Budget Reserve Forecast

Per-ADA Revenue Volatility

Proposition 98 Major Proposition 98 budget changes for K-12 education include: $1.8 billion to reduce interyear deferrals to $5.6 billion $1.6 billion to begin implementation of LCFF for school districts $400.5 million to support energy efficiency projects in schools from Proposition 39 revenues $100 million increase for the K-12 Mandate Block Grant to fund the Science Graduation Requirement and Behavioral Intervention Plan mandates $62.8 million for a 1.65% COLA for selected categorical programs $48.5 million for charter school ADA growth

Revenue Limits The Governor’s Budget makes no reference to current law and revenue limit funding There is no direct reference to the statutory COLA Provides a 1.65% COLA for selected categorical programs and sufficient funding to increase support for LEAs by 4.5% under the LCFF There is no reference to the current % deficit factor Nevertheless, until state law is changed, revenue limits are the means by which state apportionment aid is distributed to LEAs statewide

Apportionment Deferrals $1.8 billion in to further reverse the interyear K-12 apportionment deferrals that were implemented before and during the economic downturn beginning in During the peak of the downturn, approximately 45% of state aid payments owed to school districts were deferred to the following year This deferral buy down is a one-time expenditure and does not impose a similar cost on the state in subsequent years For , the state reduced K-12 deferrals by $2.2 billion At the end of , the Governor’s Budget estimates that $5.6 billion in deferrals will remain

Governor Brown is again proposing a major overhaul of California’s system of school finance California’s current school finance system is “overly complex, administratively costly, and inequitably distributed” The Governor proposes a sweeping reform of the state’s school finance system with the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) Sufficient funding to increase support for LEAs by 4.5% under the LCFF In , the deficit factor would remain unchanged at % Local Control Funding Formula

Major LCFF Elements The LCFF would replace revenue limits and most categorical program funding Funding would generally be flexible Elements of the proposed formula A base grant target equal to the undeficited statewide average base revenue limit per ADA – $6,816 (includes the 1.65% COLA) Added funding for K-3 Class-Size Reduction (CSR) and 9-12 Career Technical Education (CTE)

Major LCFF Elements Additional funding based on the demographics of the schools, including: English Learner population Pupils eligible for free and reduced-price meals Foster youth These additional amounts will be calculated as 35% of the base grant times the number of eligible students Concentration grant for 35% of the grade span base grant multiplied by the districtwide % eligible students that exceed 50% of total enrollment

LCFF Grade Spans FactorsK Grade Span Base Grant per ADA $6,342$6,437$6,628$7,680 Adjustment factors 11.2% CSR % CTE CSR, CTE amounts $710-- $215

LCFF and Categorical Programs Other elements of the formula: Special Education, Child Nutrition, QEIA, After School Education and Safety, and other federally mandated programs are not included in the formula Transportation and Targeted Instructional Improvement Grant (TIIG) funding continue as add-ons to the formula for those school districts that currently receive funding through these programs And the funds can be used for any educational purpose Timeline: Phased in over seven years – completed in
