The Frmula Grade Span Funding Grade Span K-3 4-6 7-8 9-12 Funding Level $6,952 $7,056 $7,266 $8,419 Add-Ons: K-3 Class Size and 9-12 Cllege and Career Readiness* Grade Span K-3 4-6 7-8 9-12 Funding Level $723 - - $219 The K-3 add-n is 10.4% f the base grant and as a cnditin f receiving the funds a district must make prgress twards maintaining an average K-3 class size f nt mre than 24 t 1 The 9-12 add-n is 2.6% f the base grant. It was riginally targeted fr Cllege and Career Readiness but nw has n limitatins attached t the funds.
The Frmula Supplemental Grants 20% add-n t the base grant fr each unduplicated pupil cunt: Eligible fr free r reduced-price meals (FRM) Pupil f limited English prficiency (ELL) Fster Yuth (FY) The cunts are measured during the annual pupil census in Octber and are measured as a percentage f ttal pupil enrllment. e.g. 64% FRM/ELL
The Frmula Cncentratin Grants Fr schl districts with a high density FRM/ELL cunt, a Cncentratin grant is awarded, calculated as fllws: 50% f the base grant fr the percentage f unduplicated FRM/ELL in excess f 55% f the ttal enrllment. Example: A district s FRM/ELL % is 64% Then 9% f the enrllment is abve the 55% threshld (64%-55%) and eligible fr additinal funding.
LCFF Target An Example Grade Span K-3 Base Amunt $6,952 Add-On $753 Ttal Base $7,675 Cncentratin 50% Subttal $3,838 FRM /ELL % 21% (76-55) Cnc. Amunt $806 Supplemental 20% Subttal $1,535 FRM/ELL % 76% Supp. Amunt $1,167 Base $7,675 Supplemental $1,167 Cncentratin $806 LCFF Per K-3 Pupil Ttal $9,648
Frmula Yur LCFF Target Multiply yur Average Daily Attendance (ADA) times yur $ funding per pupil target in each grade span. This is yur new LCFF funding target. Simple! But wait. There is nt enugh funding in the State budget t fully fund LCFF fr each district. Mre n that t cme!
2012-2013 A Hld Harmless Because any mdel shift inherently has winners and lsers as cmpared t the previus mdel this mdel has a Hld Harmless clause t minimize the impact and prevent districts frm lsing funding (as cmpared t 2012-13). N district can receive less funding in any future year than it did in 2012-13 Except that the revenue limit is grwth (decline) adjusted
An Expensive Mdel The Legislative Analyst s Office indicates that t fully implement the LCFF in 2013-14 wuld require an additinal $18 billin abve 2012-13 spending levels. The Legislature was able t apprpriate abut 12% f the necessary funding. Accrdingly each district will receive abut 12% f the difference between their 13-14 LCFF target and their 12-13 Hld Harmless level. This % has becme knwn in the field as gap funding
8 years? Based upn current Department Of Finance (DOF) prjectins fr grwth in Prpsitin 98, it will take 8 years t fully fund and implement the LCFF mdel. Is that realistic?
Ecnmic Recvery Target Fr abut 20% f all districts, their LCFF target des nt exceed the amunt f funding the district wuld have received if the deficit factr and categrical prgram funding reductins had been restred. In these cases, the district is eligible fr an additinal revenue add-n, referred t as an Ecnmic Recvery Target (ERT). The ERT is equal t the difference between LCFF and the ld revenue limit mdel, funded evenly ver 8 years.
