The Budget Act was signed by the Governor on June 27, 2013; therefore, the budget revisions must be made available to the public by August 12, 2013. The final budget approved by the Governor and the State Legislature included the implementation of the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) beginning in 2013-14. The LCFF eliminates revenue limits and most categorical programs and replaces them with an entirely new funding formula. Funding for school districts under the new formula is based on four base grants tied to specific grade spans, supplemented by additional funds for English language learners and economically disadvantaged youth. The District’s budget was revised to reflect the changes in funding as a result of the State Budget Act. Additional information on LCFF and the corresponding budget revisions will be presented by Lori Wigg, Assistant Superintendent, Business Services, who will respond to clarifying questions.
