Education Receives More . . .

For the first time in five years - an increase in funding

Revenue limit deficit still more than 20%

The Governor continues to deal with the “wall of debt”


Proposition 98 guarantee could grow at 3.4% to 5.3% rate over
the next several years

Other forecasts have proven to be overly optimistic

Manipulations of Proposition 98 could strangle education
funding
Glory years funded by highly educated workforce
Distribution Method is Different

Slightly higher funding – New method of distribution – the LCFF
 Revenue limits and categorical programs are replaced by base
grants and supplemental grants over a phase-in period
 The stated goal is to focus more resources on California’s most
needy students

Proposition 98

Major Proposition 98 budget changes for K-12 education include:

$1.8 billion to reduce interyear deferrals to $5.6 billion

$1.6 billion to begin implementation of LCFF for school districts

$400.5 million to support energy efficiency projects in schools from
Proposition 39 revenues

$100 million increase for the K-12 Mandate Block Grant to fund the
Science Graduation Requirement and Behavioral Intervention Plan
mandates

$62.8 million for a 1.65% COLA for selected categorical programs

$48.5 million for charter school ADA growth
Revenue Limits

The Governor’s Budget makes no reference to current law and
revenue limit funding

There is no direct reference to the statutory COLA



Provides a 1.65% COLA for selected categorical programs
and sufficient funding to increase support for LEAs by 4.5%
under the LCFF
There is no reference to the current 22.272% deficit factor
Nevertheless, until state law is changed, revenue limits are the
means by which state apportionment aid is distributed to LEAs
statewide

Apportionment Deferrals

$1.8 billion in 2013-14 to further reverse the interyear K-12
apportionment deferrals that were implemented before and during
the economic downturn beginning in 2008-09


During the peak of the downturn, approximately 45% of state aid
payments owed to school districts were deferred to the following
year
This deferral buy down is a one-time expenditure and does not
impose a similar cost on the state in subsequent years


For 2012-13, the state reduced K-12 deferrals by $2.2 billion
At the end of 2013-14, the Governor’s Budget estimates that
$5.6 billion in deferrals will remain
Local Control Funding Formula

Governor Brown is again proposing a major overhaul of California’s
system of school finance

California’s current school finance system is “overly complex,
administratively costly, and inequitably distributed”

The Governor proposes a sweeping reform of the state’s school
finance system with the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF)

Sufficient funding to increase support for LEAs by 4.5% under the
LCFF

In 2013-14, the deficit factor would remain unchanged at 22.272%
Major LCFF Elements

The LCFF would replace revenue limits and most categorical
program funding


Funding would generally be flexible
Elements of the proposed formula

A base grant target equal to the undeficited statewide average
base revenue limit per ADA – $6,816 (includes the 1.65%
COLA)

Added funding for K-3 Class-Size Reduction (CSR) and 9-12
Career Technical Education (CTE)
Major LCFF Elements


Additional funding based on the demographics of the schools,
including:

English Learner population

Pupils eligible for free and reduced-price meals

Foster youth
These additional amounts will be calculated as

35% of the base grant times the number of eligible students

Concentration grant for 35% of the grade span base grant
multiplied by the districtwide % eligible students that exceed
50% of total enrollment

LCFF and Categorical Programs

Other elements of the formula:


Transportation and Targeted Instructional Improvement Grant (TIIG)
funding continue as add-ons to the formula for those school districts
that currently receive funding through these programs


Special Education, Child Nutrition, QEIA, After School
Education and Safety, and other federally mandated programs
are not included in the formula
And the funds can be used for any educational purpose

Federal Fiscal Cliff
“Fiscal Cliff” put in a much better perspective
U.S. tax revenue: $2,170,000,000,000
Federal budget: $3,820,000,000,000
New debt: $1,650,000,000,000
National debt: $14,271,000,000,000
Recent budget cuts: $38,500,000,000
Let’s now remove 8 zeros and pretend it’s a household budget:
Annual family income: $21,700
Money the family spent: $38,200
New debt on the credit card: $16,500
Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710
Total budget cuts so far: $38.50
