Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF)

Local Control Funding Formula

In 2013, California approved the Local Control
Funding Formula (LCFF), a major reform in school
finance in 40 years. The LCFF establishes a unique
funding target for school districts based upon the stu-
dent population they serve.

OUSD receives Supplemental Grant Funds but is
not entitled to Concentration Grant Funds since the
percentage of disadvantage students is below the
55% threshold required by the formula.

LCFF Funding Target

Based on the Governor’s Adopted Budget on June 27, the LCFF estimated revenues for FY 2017-18 are
$223M, closing about 97% of the gap funding to target. The LCFF estimated revenues for FY 2018-19 are pro-
jected flat with a remaining gap of about $8M to be filled by FY 2020-21 at full funding. Although, the Per-
ADA funding is currently projected at $8,770 and is expected to increase, the Education Week 2017 Quality Re-
port ranked California 46th out of 50 states and the District of Columbia in K-12 education spending per stu-
dent. This was based on data from 2013-14. The following LCFF calculation is updated throughout the year to
incorporate changes in student enrollment, unduplicated pupil count, and funding factors established at the state
level.
