New Tax Plan Impacts on California Critics of the tax plan argue that it hits some California taxpayers particularly hard The $10,000 limitation on the deduction of state and local taxes will raise the amount of federal taxes paid by Californians Kevin de León, the Senate President pro Tempore, has said that the average state taxpayer takes deductions totaling $22,000 California home prices are among the highest in the nation Limiting the principal amount of the loan upon which the interest deduction can be taken will raise federal tax payments for many
Rainy Day Fund But perhaps the most notable investment in the rest of the budget, is the Governor s proposed $3.5 billion supplemental deposit into the state s Rainy Day fund above the $1.5 billion that is required by law bringing the total Rainy Day Fund to $13.5 billion in 2018-19 (the maximum allowed by the constitution) $13.5 billion Source: Governor s Budget Summary 2018-19
Cap on District Reserves Proposition 2 established a state reserve specifically to protect against cuts to Proposition 98 The Proposition 98 maintenance factor is fully repaid Proposition 98 is funded based on Test 1 Proposition 98 is sufficient for enrollment growth and statutory COLA Deposit is made into the Proposition 98 reserve when capital gains exceed 8% of General Fund revenues Met: The maintenance factor has been fully repaid Not met: Funding based on Test 3 in 2018-19 Met: ADA decline of 0.29% and statutory COLA of 2.51% fully funded Met: Capital gains revenues account for 9.8% of tax revenues in 2018-19 If these conditions are met, a hard cap on district reserves is imposed in the following year
Governor s Proposal for Education Funding
Proposition 98 Education Funding Proposition 98 Funding Over Time 2008-09 to 2018-19 $80.0 $78.3 (in billions) $75.0 $70.0 $65.0 $60.0 $58.0 $58.9 $67.1 $69.1 $71.4 $75.2 $55.0 $50.0 $49.2 $51.7 $49.7 $47.3 $45.0 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 2014-15 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19
Proposition 98 and the Major K-12 Proposals Fully fund LCFF The Governor s Budget proposal includes: One-time discretionary funding Strong Workforce Program to establish a K-12 specific component Child Care and State Preschool to expand inclusive care and education settings for children up to 5 years old Teacher Workforce to increase and retain special education teachers
What s Not in the Education Budget? The 2018-19 Budget proposal provides no funding for the following critical items: Increasing the LCFF base grant target to reach the funding level of the top ten states The growing local obligations for the California State Teachers Retirement System (CalSTRS) and the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) unfunded liability Home-to-School Transportation programs Increasing and equalizing base funding rates for special education
2018-19 Local Control Funding Formula The Budget proposes nearly $3 billion for full implementation of the LCFF Two years ahead of the intended 2020-2021 implementation date 2018-19 LCFF growth provides an average increase of an estimated $550 per ADA, or 5.8% With concerns about the direct services provided to the students that generate LCFF dollars, the Governor s Budget proposes: LEAs will be required to show how their budget expenditures align with the strategies detailed in their LCAPs The calculations and total amount of supplemental and concentration funding provided to each LEA under the LCFF will be reported on a single website
Impact on Multi-year Projections Under the revised projections, the steep increase happens in 2018-19 and the remainder of the years are COLA only
One-Time Discretionary Funds The Governor s Budget proposes $1.8 billion in one-time discretionary funds for school districts, COEs, and charter schools in 2018-19 This equates to approximately $295 per ADA Expenditure of these funds is determined by the local governing board and can be used for any one-time purpose Like prior years, these funds will offset LEAs outstanding mandate reimbursement claims on a dollar-for-dollar basis According to the DOF, less than $1 billion in claims will remain outstanding at the end of the current year
Career Technical Education The 2017-18 State Budget included the last apportionment for the Career Technical Education Incentive Grant (CTEIG) program, phasing in local matching funds while reducing state funds The 2018-19 Governor s Budget does not propose continued funding for the CTEIG program but the Legislature is interested in finding an ongoing state funding source CTEIG Program 2015-16 $400 million 1:1 State/Local Match 2016-17 $300 million 1:1.5 State/Local Match 2017-18 $200 million 1:2 State/Local Match
Career Technical Education Legislation AB 1743 (O Donnell, D-Long Beach; McCarty, D-Sacramento) would reauthorize the CTEIG program for three additional years Funded at $500 million annually with a 1:1 match requirement Removes language giving funding priority to new programs
Teacher Workforce Acknowledging the disproportionately severe shortage in special education teachers, coupled with the pervasive and persistently low performance of students with special needs, the Budget proposes a total of $100 million in one-time Proposition 98 funding to create two programs Teacher Residency Grant Program $50 million To support locally sponsored, one-year intensive mentored and clinical teacher preparation programs Local Solutions Grant Program $50 million One-time competitive grants to develop and implement new, or expand current, local solutions to address the need for special education teachers
