  2. Relationship of Special Education Programs to the District-wide Budget • Funding for special education is tied to District-wide enrollment, not our special education population. • Declining District-wide general education enrollment means less revenue for special education, and more pressure on the General Fund. • $634.7 Million in funding for special education came from the General Fund in Fiscal Year 2009-10. 2

LEGISLATIVE FOCUS (EXTERNAL EFFORT) • IMPROVED FUNDING FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION • FEDERAL • Fund 40% of Excess Cost as authorized in IDEA legislation • Full 40% funding of excess cost in 2008-2009 would have generated an additional $172.1 M for LAUSD* • Funding for 40% of excess cost is not sufficient: advocate for review of Federal funding for Special Education beyond excess cost model *Per Coalition For Adequate Funding 11

  12. LEGISLATIVE FOCUS (EXTERNAL EFFORT) CONTINUE • IMPROVED FUNDING FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION • STATE • Modification of AB602 funding model requirement to more accurately reflect costs • Review state’s Maintenance of Effort requirement • Continuation of Special Disabilities Adjustment (SDA) • Approx $22M annually for LAUSD • Scheduled to end after 2010-2011 • Continuation of Mental Health Funding and Services through Department of Mental Health – AB 3632 • Suspension of services through DMH has potential fiscal impact of $30M + annually for LAUSD 12
