Dear County Superintendents of Schools, Auditors, and Treasurers:
NOTICE OF THE FIRST APPORTIONMENT FOR THE
TARGETED INSTRUCTIONAL IMPROVEMENT GRANTS PROGRAM,
PART B
FISCAL YEAR 2004-05
This apportionment, in the amount of $98,624,000, is made from funds provided by Item 6110-485-0001(4) of the Budget Act of 2004 (Chapter 208, Statutes of 2004) in support of the Targeted Instructional Improvement Grants Program (TIIG) pursuant to Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 54200) of Part 29 of the Education Code.
Funding in support of the 2004-05 TIIG program entitlements comes from three sources, as follows: (1) $569,009,000 from Item 6110-132-000 of the Budget Act of 2004 , which is allocated as "Part A" of the 2004-05 apportionment; (2) $98,624,000 from Item 6110-485-0001(4) of the Budget Act of 2004 , which is allocated as "Part B" of the 2004-05 apportionment; and (3) $95,397,000 which is deferred from 2004-05 to 2005-06 pursuant to the provisions of Senate Bill 1108, SEC. 36.(a)(1)(F), Chapter 216, Statutes of 2004. Local educational agencies (LEAs) will receive approximately 89 percent of their entitlements from either Part A or Part B of the 2004-05 apportionment. The deferred portion of the entitlements will be paid in a separate apportionment in July 2005. Amounts for each LEA included in this payment are listed on the enclosed schedule of apportionment.
Estimated entitlement calculations for this apportionment are determined by applying a 2.41 cost of living adjustment provided in the Budget Act of 2004 to the amount received by each LEA for its 2003-04 TIIG program. Final entitlement amounts will be based on actual 2004-05 per-pupil data, and calculated after the 2004-05 second period average daily attendance is certified in June 2005. At that time, a final apportionment will be certified and the difference between the amount advanced in this apportionment and the final entitlement will be released.

Warrants will be mailed to each county treasurer approximately four weeks from the date of this Notice. Income received for this program is restricted. For standardized account code structure coding, use Resource Code 7045, Targeted Instruction Improvement Grants Program (TIIG), and Revenue Object Code 8590, All Other State Income.
