  1. LCFF and LCAP Reshapes School Funding and Accountability Part I: LCFF Russ Frank RCOE

  2. Resources • School Services of California • Legislative Analyst’s Report • WestEd • Special Thanks to: • Nancy Sheets: Director II, RCOE • Paul Jessup: Deputy Superintendent, RCOE • Bill Spires: Director II, RCOE • Art Davis: RSDSS Director, Madera County Office of Education • Janelle Kubinec: Director, National and State Special Projects, WestED

  3. Outcomes • Understand how the components of LCFF return districts to 07-08 funding over time • Discuss the implications for districts 3. Pose questions for follow up.

  4. Local Control Funding Formula Components • Target Base Rates Per 4 Grade Spans • Adjusted Base Rates for CSR and CTE • Supplemental Funding for any EL or LI • Concentration Funding for ELs and LIs above 55% of total enrollment • TIIG Add-On • HTS Transportation Add-On • Economic Recovery Target Add-On • “Commitment” to close the gap and COLA

  5. Formula Components of the LCFF: 1 Target Base Rates Basic Rate for All Kids • Per ADA in CALPADS • K-3: $6,845 • 4-6 $6,947 • 7-8 $7,154 • 9-12 $8,289 • It’s like the revenue limits of old.

  6. Formula Components of the LCFF: 1 Per ADA in CALPADS K-3: $6,845 4-6 $6,947 7-8 $7,154 9-12 $8,289 * Basic Rate for All Kids * Like a the Old Revenue Limit

  7. Formula Components of the LCFF: 2 Adjusted Base Rates (ABR) CSR K-3 and CTE 9-12 • Let’s keep class sizes low in K-3 -- 24-1 or negotiated level: • Add 10.4 percent of the base rate. • It costs more to educate 9-12 -- Targets CTE • Add 2.6 percent of the base rate.

  8. Provisions for K-3 CSR Adjustment • K-3 CSR at 24-1 by 20-21 • Unless CSR is collectively bargained otherwise • If negotiated at a different rate, LEA not subject to provision. • If class size larger than 24 LEA must make progress toward reducing the gap by 10 % annually during transition.

  9. Formula Components of the LCFF: 3 Supplemental Funding SED or Low Income (LI) & English Learners ELs • The following subgroups offer more challenges to educators: • Low Income (LI) or what we used to call SED. • Foster Youth as LI • English Learners • Add 20% of the ABR per eligible student

  10. Calculating Supplemental Funding • Foster Youth are LI • EL/LI calculated on 3 year rolling average from CALPADS taken from CBEDS. • 2013 CBEDS for 13-14 LCFF • Unduplicated count. An EL who is low income = 1 student.

  11. Dilemma of Reclassification • Student Reclassified as FEP who is NOT also LI no longer generates extra $$$. LCAP Connection.

  12. Supplemental Follow up • Challenge: districts need to find out what their unduplicated 13-14 counts are.

  13. Think About It • What are the implications for your district? • What questions arise for you? • Share these thoughts with your partners

  14. Formula Components of the LCFF: 4 Concentration Funding For Districts with many ELs & LI • High concentrations of ELs and LI present an even greater challenge for LEAs. • Each unduplicated LI or EL above 55% of enrollment generates 50% of the ABR

  15. Will You Get Concentration Funding?

  16. LEA Ensures “Proportionality” “Increase or improve services for ELs/LIs in proportion to the increase in funds apportioned on the basis of the number and concentration of unduplicated pupils” ?

  17. LCFF and LCAP Templates • WestEd and CDE role • Fiscal Guidance by January 30, 2014 • Preview of Fiscal and LCAP by November 6-7 2013? • RCOE Preview Nov. 21, 2013 • LCAP Template by March 30, 2013

  18. Think About It • What are the implications for your district? • What questions arise for you? • Share these thoughts with your partners

  19. Formula Components of the LCFF: 5 Targeted Instr. Improve. Grant First of Three Add-Ons • If received in 12-13 will receive again through 20-21. • Can be used for any educational purpose. • See list of RC districts

  20. Formula Components of the LCFF: 6 Home/School Transportation (HTST) Second of Three Add-Ons • If LEA received HTST in 12-13 it will receive again through 2020-21. • Restricted to transporting eligible students. • See list of RC districts.

  21. Formula Components of the LCFF: 7 Economic Recovery Target (ERT) Third of Three Add-Ons • In the transition from 2007-08 formula to LCFF, some LEAs (230) lose funding due to their former concentrations of categorical funds. • ERT is like a hold harmless for these LEAs. • = increase each year for 8 years • Likely no ERTs in RC

  22. 2013-14 Categorical Survivors

  23. Formula Components of the LCFF: 8 Gap Funding 8 Years to Close Funding Gap TARGET • Fully funding LCFF in one year would cost $18 billion. • Target: Let’s get back to 2007-08 Levels • Gap funding “Commit-ment”: Aimed at closing each LEA’s difference between the 20-21 target funding and 13-14 funding by 12% annually. TARGET LCFF Funding TARGET LCFF Funding

  24. Getting to the Targets Leverage for Closing the Gap • “Commitment” to funding gap closing • COLA increases to the Base Rate • P1 in December: LEAs paint the first fuzzy picture of the increases. • P2 in April: LEAs should generate a clearer idea of increase.

  25. LCFF/LCAP Summary • Reforms state’s much criticized funding mechanism. • Far greater LEA flexibility on meeting student need. • More meaningful stakeholder input during development.

  26. Major Shifts Made by the Local Control Funding Formula Before LCFF After LCFF LCFF base funding dif-ferentiated by grade span. Unduplicated pupil weights, concentration funding K-3 CSR targeting 24-1 Local Control Accountability Plans required. (July 1, 2014) • Revenue Limits • State categoricals w/temporary tiered flex • K-3 CSR: Limited funding with unlimited class sizes • Accountability and performance separate from funding

  27. What Stays the Same? • Financial Audits • Compliance with Williams • School Accountability Report Cards • Federal funding, planning and accountability • LEA as subgrantee of the state

  28. Downside? • Economic downturn. • Low income districts vulnerable. • Prop 30 phase outs: 2016, 18 • In 20-21 gets us to where we were in 07-08.

  29. Think About It • What are the implications for your district? • What questions arise for you? • Share these thoughts with your partners
