6. How does the LCFF work? Under the Local Control Funding Formula, funding is appropriated for education in four ways. In future years, all grants will be adjusted by a COLA

7. LCFF Base Grant - Target 2013-14 Base Grant – Per ADA • Base grant funding is awarded based on ADA by grade span • These amounts are only partially funded each year until full implementation

8. Supplemental Grant - Target IUSD Unduplicated percentage is 25.65% (unofficial) 2013-14 Supplemental Grant • Supplemental grant awarded on district unduplicated count of: • English Learner • Low Income • Foster Youth • Grant represents 20% of the base grant

9. Concentration Grant - Target 2013-14 Concentration Grant Not applicable to IUSD Concentration grant amounts are equal to 50 percent of the base grant and allocated only if unduplicated count exceeds 55% of enrollment.

10. IUSD LCFF Funding • In the governor’s plan, school district will be fully funded by 2020-21. This is the amount referred to as the LCFF Target • IUSD’s 12/13 actual funding is referred to as the LCFF Floor • The difference between the Target & Floor is referred to as the LCFF Gap • Each year, a portion of the LCFF Gap will be funded. The % will be set by the governor. For 13/14, the rate is projected to be 11.78% • For IUSD, this means an additional $9,068,157 in funds

11. IUSD LCFF Funding Includes supplemental funding

12. What does LCFF Mean for the Irvine Community? • Focused funding for students with the greatest needs • English Learners, foster youth and low-income students • A broader definition of school success – school district won’t be evaluated by test scores alone • LCFF requires schools to develop plans to improve student engagement, increase parent involvement, and create more positive learning environments on campus • More local control – School leaders and parents will have greater influence over spending and will have flexibility at the local level to create academic programs, services and budgets to meet the unique needs of students • District budgets are required to be aligned with academic plans (Local Control Accountability Plans- LCAP) starting in July 2014
