SI&A AnnouncementScott Hill• SI&A, National Policy Advisor• Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,

Sr. Program Manager

His focus:• National Implementation of Common Core State

Standards & Assessments. • Building support systems for the new standards.

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 3


One critical support system is Academic Tenacity

1. What is it? Persistence of effort 2. How is it measured? Attendance

(A2A) is the only proven Attendance Intervention System on the market

– A2A currently supports nearly 1M families and students– Last year, A2A clients had:

• More than a 25% reduction in daily absences• Over 2,700 school children back in school every day• Nearly 500,000 additional instructional days gained • Average ADA gain of .62% - over $14 million dollars generated• Significant improvement in all sub-groups

The Governor’s 2013-14 Budget

“Subsidiarity”:The idea that a central authority should have a

subsidiary function, performing only those tasks which cannot be performed effectively at a more immediate

or local level. [Oxford English Dictionary]

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 10


Budget Themes & Thoughts• Basking in Victory• Erasing the Deficit• Wall of Debt – Work in Progress• Counting on Economic Growth• Investing in Education – Over Time• “Subsidiarity”• Centerpiece of Budget is “Local Control

Funding Formula (LCFF)”

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 11


Economic Outlook• Nation – Continued Slow Recovery

– Less than 2% GDP growth through mid-2013, improving to 3% beyond – Unemployment = 7.8% - down from 10% in 2009; 9% for much of 2011

• California – Still Even Slower Recovery– Unemployment below 10%, down from 12.4% in 2011; falling to 8.4%

in 2014– Employment (vs. labor force dropouts) actually growing– Real Personal Income growth above 3% going into 2014– Construction/housing sector is recovering

• Challenges– Washington – deficits, politics, short-term fixes– Interest rates and the construction/housing sector

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 12


Political Backdrop• Decisive win on Prop 30 = political capital for Brown

– Getting voters to do the impossible – raise taxes– The low budget, late game strategy wins again

• What Prop 30 really does vs. perception• The changing demographic of a major blue state

– Rise of the Hispanic voters– Voters between 18 and 29

• Democrat supermajority• Potential to equalize power between Governor and Legislature• Budget & taxes• Urgency statutes• Veto override

• Influence of organized labor• Unprecedented number of new lawmakers

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 13


Governor’s Budget• Governor declares that deficit is erased• Second budget in a decade without a projected

deficit • Increases GF spending by 5 Percent - going from $93

billion in 2012-13 to $97 billion in 2013-14• Increases funding for K-12 schools & higher

education• Expands Medi-Cal under state implementation of

federal health care reform• Pays down $4.2 billion in budget-related borrowing• Establishes a $1 billion reserve

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 14


Governor’s Budget• Assumptions above LAO’s projections – erases deficit

and creates a $1 billion reserve– $1.1 billion in higher revenues over three years

(mostly Prop 30) – $500 million by repaying less of borrowing from

special funds – $1 billion higher estimate of savings (RDA/Cap and

Trade)– Extending health care-related taxes and fees

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 15


Voters to the Rescue - Ballot MeasuresBudget includes almost $6 billion for 2013-14 in new revenues from voter approval of Prop 30 and Prop 39

– Prop 30: • New tax rates on highest-income earners – married taxpayers at

$500,000 or above beginning in 2012 through 2018 • Increases state’s sales tax rate by one-quarter cent beginning this

year through 2016– Prop 39:

• Requires multistate corporations to use the “single sales factor” method of apportionment in calculating their taxable income

• The measure ends an advantage signed into law under a previous budget deal allowing firms choosing the more favorable of two methods for determining their tax

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 16


New Revenues and Growth

• Increase in GF personal income tax revenues of 1.8 percent from 2012-13 to 2013-14

• Increase in GF sales and use tax revenues of 12.5 percent from 2012-13 to 2013-14

• Increase in corporation tax revenues of 20.5 percent from 2012-13 to 2013-14

• Increase in GF revenues of $50 million in 2013-14 as part of proposal for the state’s Enterprise Zone Program

• Increase in revenues from permanent reauthorization of the gross premiums tax on Medi-Cal managed care plans and extension of the Hospital Quality Assurance Fee through 2016

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 17


Key Education Components• K-12 Deferrals — $1.8 billion Prop 98 GF to reduce inter-year budgetary

deferrals• New School Funding Formula — Additional $1.6 billion in Prop 98 GF for

school districts, COEs and charter schools in 2013-14, an increase of 4.5 percent

• New County Office of Education Funding Formula — Additional $28.2 million Prop 98 GF to support a new funding formula for COEs in 2013-14

• Energy Efficiency Investments — $400.5 million Prop 98 GF to support energy efficiency projects per Prop 39

• Charter Schools — $48.5 million Prop 98 GF to support projected charter school ADA growth

• Special Education — $3.6 million Prop 98 GF for Special Education ADA growth• K-12 Mandates Funding— Additional $100 million to the K-12 portion of the

mandate block grant to support costs associated with the Graduation Requirements and Behavioral Intervention Plans mandates

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 18


Key Education Components• COLA – Select Programs— $62.8 million to support 1.65% COLA for select

categorical programs, including: Special Education, Child Nutrition, American Indian Education Centers, and the American Indian Early Childhood Education Program

• Emergency Repair Program — $9.7 million one-time Prop 98 GF Reversion Account for the Emergency Repair Program

• Average Daily Attendance (ADA) — An adjusted increase of $304.4 million in 2012-13 and an increase of $2.8 million for 2013-14

• Child Nutrition Program—$77 million in federal local assistance funds to reflect growth of nutrition programs at schools and other participating agencies

• Prop 98 Adjustment – Credits over-appropriation of $162.8 million in the 2012-13 Prop 98 guarantee to retire future funding obligations of the CTA v. Schwarzenegger settlement

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 19


School Finance Reform• Governor’s criticisms of current system

– State driven– Overly complex– Too much bureaucracy and administrative tasks– Inequitable– Not reflective of student needs

• Goals for new funding system– Increase local control – “Subsidiarity”– Reduce state bureaucracy– Reduce inequities– Reflect student needs– Transparency

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 20


Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF)• Basic Grant• Supplemental (weighted) Grant• Concentration (weighted) Grant• Augmentations to the Base Grant• Add-ons to formula• Separately funded programs• Hold-harmless and transition

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 21


Base Grant• Base Grant per ADA by grade span (no more

revenue limit)K-3 = $6,342 7-8 = $6,6284-6 = $6,437 9-12 = $7,680

• When LCFF fully implemented (estimated in 7-years), Base Grant should equal the undeficited statewide average revenue limit for the current year ($6,816)

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 22


Supplemental / Concentration Grants• Supplemental Grant– Equal to 35% of Base Grant for each English Learner

(EL), Economically Disadvantaged (NSLP eligible), and/or foster student – unduplicated count

• Concentration Grant– Equal to 35% of Base Grant For Each EL, Economically

Disadvantaged, and foster student above 50% concentration threshold

• EL students eligible for Supplemental and Concentration Grants for no more than 5 years

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 23


Augmentations and Add-ons• Augmentations to the Base Grant– K-3 Class Size Reduction funding augments the K-3

Grade Span Base Grant - 11.23% (approx. $712)– CTE funding augments the 9-12 Grade Span Base

Grant - 2.8% (approx. $215)• Add-ons– Home-To-School Transportation and Targeted

Instructional Improvement Grant (TIIG) funding permanently added to the entitlement for districts currently receiving those funds

LCFF - Transition• An “Entitlement Target” will be calculated for each district

– Equal to Base Grant + Supplemental Grant + Concentration Grant + Augmentations + Add-Ons

– Entitlement Target adjusted each year for COLA, demographic changes, grade span changes

• 2013-14: each LEA receives at least a hold-harmless amount equal to 2012-13 funding for revenue limits + included categoricals

• Each FY thereafter: each LEA receives some amount of growth, added to the hold-harmless amount, that moves the LEA toward its Entitlement Target

• Administration estimates 7 years to reach Entitlement Targets– 50% of Prop. 98 growth used to move LEAs toward Entitlement Targets (other

50% buys down deferrals)– Growth funding proportionally moves all LEAs toward the Entitlement Targets

$500,000 District X is a unified school district with an ADA of 5,000. 25% of its pupils are enrolled in each of the four grade spans. 70% of the district’s pupils are EL, NSLP eligible and/or foster youth (unduplicated count). The district received $500,000 in Home to School Transportation and $500,000 in TIIG funding in 2012-13.


Separately Funded Programs• Federally funded programs• QEIA (for next two fiscal years only)• Special Education• After School Education and Safety• Child Nutrition• Preschool• Various programs not funded in all districts– e.g., High-Speed Internet Access, Indian Education

Centers, FCMAT877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 29


Expenditure of LCFF Funds• Base Grant, CTE Augmentation to 9-12 Base Grant, and

Add-ons are unrestricted and completely discretionary• Supplemental and Concentration Grants are “Available

for any purpose that benefits the students generating the funding”, but funding need not strictly “follow the student”

• Must hold average pupil-teacher ratio in K-3 to 24:1 (or locally bargained ratio) or risk loss of K-3 CSR Augmentation– 24:1 implemented in stages during transition

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 30


LCFF – Charter Schools and Basic Aid• Charter schools are included in the proposal and

treated the same as districts• Basic aid districts (COEs) are treated the same as

other districts (COEs)– Basic aid is now defined to be a district (COE) where

local property tax proceeds equal or exceed the entitlement target

– Districts (COEs) get to keep excess property taxes– Some basic aid districts (COEs) may start with the hold-

harmless amount greater than their entitlement target877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 31


LCFF – County Offices of Education• County Offices of Education (COE)– New two-part formula for Base Grant

• Per ADA funding for county community and court schools• Discretionary general fund based on total ADA within the

county

– COEs eligible for the Supplemental and Concentration Grants for EL and economically disadvantaged pupils

– Same transition and hold-harmless provisions apply to COEs

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 32


New Accountability System• Governor proposes to redefine fiscal accountability

for LEAs and charter schools• Eliminates most current programmatic and

compliance requirements• Makes LEAs and governing boards accountable to the

community with less emphasis on the State• Requires LEAs to create the District Plan for Student

Achievement – to be concurrently adopted with the annual budget

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 33


New Accountability System• The District Plan must address at least the following:

1. Basic conditions for student achievement (qualified teachers, sufficient materials, school facilities - Williams type elements)

2. Programs or instruction for low-income and English language learners

3. Implementation of Common Core Standards (progress toward college and career readiness as measured by the API, graduation rates, completion of college-prep and CTE courses)

• DOF suggests that no State agency would review the District Plans

• Instead the K-12 Audit Guide would be revised to require independent auditors to verify the Plans contain all mandatory elements and related expenditures

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 34


Proposition 98• Prop 98 spending fell from $56.6 to $47.3 billion between 2007-08 and

2011-12 – A decline of 16.4%, not including manipulations• Most devastating cuts to public education in memory• 2013-14 Prop 98 funding is proposed to be $56.2 billion or $2.7 billion

higher than the revised 2012-13 guarantee • Increased GF revenues drive the guarantee upward - Prop 30 and Prop 39

have a positive impact on the guarantee• Governor dedicates $400.5 million of Prop 39 to meeting the guarantee• For 2012-13, the Administration estimates that Prop 98 is funded beyond

the guarantee and thus credits those dollars toward future CTA v. Schwarzenegger settlement obligations

Mandate Funding• Remember that THIS February, all districts including those that opted for

MBG, will be filing for costs incurred in the 2011-12 fiscal year• 2012-13 claims will be the first year impacted by MBG – Decision already

made• September 30th 2013 districts again have an option for claiming for 2013-

14: continue filing or choose block grant • Block grant funding proposed to be $300 million for K-14 mandates, or

$47 per student for K-12 districts and COEs - $24 per pupil for charter schools

• Folds in ongoing BIP and Grad Requirements– MBG will not cover prior-year claims for both– Consistent with the motivation for establishing the MBG, inclusion of

these added mandates creates savings to the State.

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 40


Mandate Funding• Two mandates approved for claims to be filed in 2013

– Charter Schools IV – Petition review for districts and COEs– Public Contracts – Requirements imposed on districts

• Five pending mandates approved but pending Ps&Gs– Behavioral Intervention Plans – California Public Records Act– Uniform Complaint Procedures– Parental Involvement Programs– Williams Case Implementation I, II, III

• Eight mandate test claims pending• For prior year claims on Graduation Requirements Mandate and

Behavioral Intervention, districts need to file GR and BIP in Feb 2014 or lose that prior year funding– First Time Filing for BIP goes back to 1994/95

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 41


Politics & Compliance

Under either claiming approach, the statutes requires districts to comply with all mandates

• The audit guidelines are subject to change each year• Anticipating the two types of audit requirements under the

options – they are not the same– Constitutional Funding = Did you claim correctly– MBG = Did you actually provide the services

No guaranteed funding• Not allocated to both options deliberately• How will new mandates get funded now…and in the future?• What happens when people stop paying attention?

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 42


Mandates - Maintaining Flexibility

You hate mandates – You’re done, you are among those who opt for MBG

At a minimum you should:• Ensure the ability of the LEA to accurately assess the best

reimbursement option for the annual decision in September• Don’t hesitate to get the expertise you need to help you with

the data• Preserve the district’s flexibility to opt between the MBG &

Constitutional claiming option by maintaining basic processes• Know Your Risks

– Position the district to maintain a defensible audit position

• Ensure the district’s ability to file any mandates that exist outside the block grant

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 43


Governor’s Major Policy Proposals

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 44


School Facilities• Eliminates minimum contribution for routine

restricted maintenance• Eliminates the required local district set-aside

for deferred maintenance• Allows districts to use proceeds from the sale

of surplus property for one-time general fund purposes – after giving Charter Schools first priority (see Charter Schools section)

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 45


School Facilities Program• Governor wants to explore State’s role in school

facilities– Balance operational needs with funding – Simplify– Increase local control

• 2014 bond supported by State Superintendent, education community

• AB 41 (Buchanan) and SB 45 (Corbett)• State school bond being discussed at $5-7 billion

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 46


Parcel Taxes• Democrats 2/3 control of both houses of the

Legislature• Democrats have been pushing for years to lower

vote threshold to pass local parcel taxes from 66.7% to 55% - the same as school facilities bonds

• Public opinion appears to support the lower threshold

• Fits with Governor’s “subsidiarity”• SCA 3 (Leno), AB 59 (Bonta), and SCA 7 (Wolk)

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 47


Capital Appreciation Bonds (CABs)• Recent press reports make them a hot issue in 2013• Political imperative fuels an outright ban

– Supported by Legislature and Treasurer, Bill Lockyer– Assembly Member Hueso will introduce bill

• Discussions of legislative reforms include:– Limiting school bond financings to 25 years– Requiring a 4 to 1 repayment ratio – unless a waiver is granted– Disclosure (sun-shining)– Requiring optional redemption after 10 years– Limit the maximum interest rate from 12 to 8%– Added oversight by county agencies

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 48


Prop 39 – Energy Efficiency• Passed by voters in Nov 2012– Bond for energy efficiency for K-12, higher ed,

and local governments– Generates $2.5 billion over 5 years

• Gov. proposes to use $450 million for K-14 with no funds going to higher ed or local governments

• $550 million in each of next 4 years• CDE to develop guidelines for K-12 projects

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 49


877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 50

Prop 39 – Energy Efficiency• $66 per pupil ADA • Funds may be used for uses consistent with

the state’s loading order policies, including:– Construction or modernization of buildings in a

manner that uses less energy– Purchasing energy efficient equipment– Undertaking renewable energy projects such as

installation of solar panels and geothermal heat pumps


Adult Ed• Eliminates existing Adult Ed structure• Folds $558.9 million in K-12 Adult Ed funding

into the LCFF• Shifts $15.7 million in K-12 Apprenticeship

funding to Cal. Comm. Colleges (CCC)• Provides an additional $300 million in Prop 98

funds to CCC for Adult Ed• New $315.7 million Adult Ed Block Grant

administered by CCC877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 51


Adult Ed• CCC Adult Ed Block Grant funding allocated

based upon number of adults served – Only for core program (Elem and secondary ed,

CTE, ESL, citizenship)• CCC encouraged to “leverage the capacity and

expertise of currently available at K-12 district adult schools.”

• K-12 districts may continue to operate Adult Ed programs

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 52


Technology-Based Learning

• Intended to allow schools to more easily offer asynchronous online courses to students

• Would create a “streamlined and outcome-focused independent study agreement”

• Proposal to rewrite Independent Study law to fundamentally change how ADA is generated for all students enrolled in Independent Study

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 53


Technology-Based Learning

• How it would work:– Would eliminate all current rules for Independent Study

(including pupil/teacher ratios)– Parent, teacher and student develop new independent

study agreement that outlines specific learning objectives– Teacher then determines if student met learning objectives– If yes = full ADA– If not = unclear (either no ADA or partial?) – Would not use testing data – would be teacher’s judgment– No bill language – details to emerge

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 54


Charter SchoolsGovernor reintroduces several proposals from last year:

– Give Charters Priority on Surplus Property for Five Additional Years – Extends the current one-year requirement that school districts with surplus property to first offer to sell to charter schools

– Consolidate Charter Financing Authority - Shift the Charter School Facility Grant Program and the Charter School Revolving Loan Program from the CDE to the California School Finance Authority

– Simplify Funding for Online Charters - Modify the SB 740 funding determination process for non-classroom based charter schools by:

1. Limiting it to the first and third years of operation in most instances2. Requiring charters found out of compliance with minimum standards

and applicable laws to comply with annual funding determinations– Allow Online Charters to access Facilities Funding - Expanding the Charter

Schools Facility Grant Program to include eligibility for non-classroom based charter schools

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 55


Child Care • CalWORKS Stage 2 funding decreased $21 million

and State 3 funding increased $24.2 million to reflect movement between Stage 2 and 3

• Child Care and Development Funds (federal dollars) decreased $9.8 million due to changes in carryover funds and in available base grant funds

• Governor calls for stakeholder meetings on restructuring Child Care

• Funding for Preschool stays flat

877.954.4357 • www.sia-us.com 56


Nutrition

• Increase of $77.2 million federal funds for growth

• COLA of 1.65%• Child Nutrition Breakfast Start-up Program

Federal Issues - Sequestration• Super committee failure to agree on $1.2 trillion in deficit

reductions over 10 years triggered across-the-board spending cuts - 7.8% ($3.5 billion) Jan 1, 2013

• American Taxpayer Relief Act (fiscal cliff deal) – Jan 2, 2013– Delayed automatic cuts to March 1, 2013 – Reduced cuts by $24 billion total– Education cuts reduced to 5.9% (approximately $2.9 billion)

• Three upcoming battles: – Mid-February, when we reach the debt ceiling– March 1, the new effective date of sequestration– March 27, when the current Continuing Resolution expires

Federal Issues• ESEA Reauthorization

– House and Senate continue to be deadlocked– Action towards reauthorization will be delayed until after

Congress deals with Sequestration, the Debt Ceiling, and Appropriations – late 2013 or 2014 at the earliest

• NCLB Waiver– SBE and the SPI pursued a state-defined waiver of the ESEA

mandate to identify schools/LEAs in Program Improvement and of the specific sanctions imposed by ESEA on those identified

– This waiver was denied in early January 2013– SBE is considering this issue

Redevelopment

• Effort to pick up $250 million of added 2012-13 savings by elimination of pass-through agreements defeated

• Budget Act for current year contained language for early termination of pass-through agreements:

• "(b) When all of the debt of a redevelopment agency has been retired or paid off, the successor agency must dispose of all remaining assets and terminate its existence within one year of the final debt payment. When the successor agency is terminated, all pass-through payment obligations will cease and no property tax shall be allocated to the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund for that agency.“

• No current year fiscal impact… should have been done in a policy committee

• Legislation will be forthcoming to protect pass-through dollars to schools
