The Local Control Funding Formula aka LCFF limits per pupil funding to 2007-08 levels + inflation. So; even though the State has reached its target of fully funding LCFF, California schools are funded at much lower levels then districts across the United States because they are funded at 2007-08 levels + inflation.
California's new education funding law: AB- 97 School Finance - Local Control Funding Formula aka "LCFF" distributes K- 12 per pupil funding using the following formula:
The "Base Grant" is universal for all students.
The "Supplemental Grant" provides additional funding to districts based on the percentage of students in the district that are English Language Learners, Receiving Free and Reduced Lunch, and/or are in Foster Care.
The "Concentration Grant" provides even more funding for districts that have large concentrations of students that are English Language Learners, Receiving Free and Reduced Lunch, and/or are in Foster Care.
Districts with a low percentage of students who are English Language Learners, Receiving Free and Reduced Lunch, and/or are in Foster Care, are funded primarily by the Base Grant.

Assembly Bill 2808 would increase the LCFF Target by 60%. This represents $35 billion in additional funding for schools; with 85% of that money going towards the Base Grant, about $5,000 per student.
The new target would be fully funded by the late 2030s'.

I am offended by this legislation. This is just like Prop 30; and the extension of Prop 30. They will provide broke school districts with just enough money to pay the increased CalSTRS and CalPERS contributions, with nothing going to the students once again.
Please don't vote for this.
