LCFF Principles • Equity • Simplicity • Needs-based • Local Control • Accountability
LCFF ComponentsSupplemental Grant *Determined as 35% of each grade span Base Grant

LCFF Entitlement/ADAwithout HTS/TIIG per ADA funding within Riverside County… 2013-14: $7,774 - $10,143 2019-20: $8,787 - $11,465

The Base Grants • ADEQUACY is critical. • The LCFF restores LEAs to 2007-08 base funding levels, but… • Does not restore 20% cut to categorical funding, and... • Even if it did, we should ask: Is this ADEQUATE to fund core educational programs in 2019-2020?
The Concentration Factor per ADA funding within Riverside County… 2019-20: $8,787 - $11,465 Variance:$2,678/student
What explains the funding variance? In part, the Concentration Factor…
Riverside County % Disadvantage and Concentration Factor Should the Concentration Factor be calculated on a districtwide basis or on a schoolsite basis? CNUSD is ineligible for the Concentration Factor but at least six school sites have concentrations of disadvantaged students near or in excess of 80%.

The LCFF Add-Ons LCFF preserves two historic and most inequitable categorical programs: Home-To-School Transportation and TIIG. Let’s look at TIIG for example…

Policy deficiencies in the LCFFare curable. • Concentration Factor: Eliminate, reduce, or scale the concentration factorand increase the base grant or apply by school site • Supplemental Grants can be calculated as a fixed dollar based on empirical evidence of need • Antiquated HTS/TIIG formulas can be modernized to reflect current conditions and need
The LCFF does not account for educational adequacy. In the absence of an adequacy discussion, California’s public education system will persistently lag behind the nation. Questions/Discussion…
