Budget Workshop March 27, 2013
Overview of Governor’s Budget • Local Control Funding Formula – a new education funding distribution model • No schools will receive less funding than their 2012-13 funding level (don’t forget that this is the 2007-08 funding level) • Each school district will produce a local control and accountability plan that will set annual goals and describe how the local agency will use available resources. Governing board will be required to adopt a budget that aligns with their district local control and accountability plan. • LCFF combines all funding for schools into a single calculation: COLA, base restoration/deficit reduction, equalization, and weighted categorical funding are all combined.
Some unresolved issues with LCFF: • Funding for growth and COLA are rolled into entitlement target – until full target is reached these will only be partially funded • No additional funding for districts consolidating - how will consolidating districts pay for the higher salary requirements? • CTE / ROP funding transition • Transportation treated as an add-on: will probably NEVER be increased
Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) • Base Grant • Supplemental (weighted) Grant • Concentration (weighted) Grant • Augmentations to the Base Grant (Career Tech Ed $215 per ADA) • Add-ons to formula (Transportation at current funded levels) • Separately funded programs (Federal, Special Ed, Child Nutrition) BASE GRANT per ADA by grade span (no more that revenue limit) Grades 9-12 = $7,680 WHEN FULLY IMPLEMENTED (estimated in 7 years), BASE GRANT should equal the undeficted statewide average revenue limit for the current year
