  2. Governor’s “Principle of Solidarity” - giving the local districts control.

  3. - Poverty Level - EL Learner - Foster Children

  4. LCFF makes targeted investments in districts serving students with the greatest level of needs hoping to create a more equitable learning experience for all students. Poverty Level - EL Learner - Foster Children

  5. Why Local Control? The LCFF will • increase flexibility and accountability at the local level • so those closest to the students can make the decisions, • reduce state bureaucracy • ensure that student needs drive the allocation of resources.

  6. These discussions were guided by six key principles 1. creating a funding mechanism that is equitable, easy to understand, and focused on the needs of students, 2. implementing the formula in concert with funding increases for K‑12 education, 3. phasing in the formula over several years, 4. paying schools back for deferrals and COLA through restoration of the deficit factor, and funding annual COLA going forward 5. allowing schools maximum flexibility in allocating resources to meet local needs, 6. holding schools accountable for academic and fiscal outcomes.

  7. Categorical Programs in CA LCFF will retain these two Transportation and TIIGcategoricals as permanent add-ons. Items contained in contracts will still be honored, but all other items are under local control

  8. Base Grant- Per Student/Grade Span • Fund core educational programs (CTE) • Fund personnel • Classified and Certificated • Fund materials • Fund technology • Augments K-3 and 9-12 for CSR • Currently planned for 24:1 not 20:1

  9. Base Grant per student • K-3 - $6342 11.23% for CSR • 4-6 - $6437 • 7-8 - $6628 • 9-12 - $7680 2.8% for CTE Base funding will be used by each District at their discretion to fulfill local education priorities.

  10. Base Grant Positives  Equal to Base Revenue Limit (BRL) from 07-08 levels + Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA) Negatives  Does NOT restore 20% cut made to categorical programs like instructional materials, professional development

  11. For any purpose that benefits the students generating the funding

  12. Supplemental Grant • Provides for 35% increase in the per student base grant for each student facing ‘unique barriers’ for academic achievement: • English Language Learners • ……No clear definition (But they can only in this group for 5 years) • Foster Children • Low Socio-Economic Status (SES) • Students who come from more than one category generate only one source of funding.

  13. For any purpose that benefits the students generating the funding

  14. Concentration Factor Total Student Population 50% This money can be used for any service that benefits the students who generated the funding.

  15. Categorical • Home-to-school transportation • Targeted Instructional Improvement Grant (TIIG) Funds are distributed as permanent add‑on programs to the new funding formula allocations for each district. • Schools will be provided with discretion to use these funds for any purpose. (Ed Brief 1/10/13)

  16. The Good News • No schools will receive less than their 12 -13 funding level as a result of the LCFF. • Over the first five years of formula implementation, per student funding on a statewide basis is projected to increase by more than $2,700. • Repayment of $1.8M in deferred payments • $300 M for Community Colleges to support Adult Ed

  17. The Bad News • LCFF requires that districts adopt a District Plan for Student Achievement concurrent and aligned with each district’s annual budget and spending plan.

  18. District’s Plan for Student Achievement Must address the following: 1. Basics- qualified teachers, sufficient instructional materials, facilities in good repair. 2. Programs or instruction that benefit low-income students and ELL. 3. Implementation of Common Core and progress toward college and career readiness. (measured by API, grad rates and CP and CTE course completion)

  19. Changes Routine Maintenance Contributions – Eliminated Deferred Maintenance Program Matching Requirement – Eliminated Surplus Property can be sold and used for any one-time general fund purpose Education Code: categorical programs Eliminated

  20. Serrano v Priest “LCFF recasts the general purpose revenue limit and the categorical programs into a single formula so it remains to be seen if the court revisits this as an equal protection issue as it did under Serrano.” - Robert Miyashiro and Michael Ricketts February 5, 2013
