Findings
AB602 funding is census based (ADA) vs. counts of SWDs
AB602 is underfunded – not kept pace with rising SWD numbers
AB602 is inequitable – SELPAs funded at widely different rates
Pass-through funding runs counter to LCFF (transparency, local control & accountability)
Governor’s Proposed Budget*
Recession concerns dominate
Flat, COLA-only funding
1.48% COLA (0% in 16-17)

Recommendations
Maintain AB602 census-based funding model
Fund AB602 at 90th percentile
