Charter School Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) Funding

Funding Description

Charter school LCFF funding provides charter schools with funding, based on average daily attendance (ADA) and the provisions in the new LCFF, established by Assembly Bill (AB) 97 (Chapter 47, Statutes of 2013), as amended by Senate Bill 91 (Chapter 49, Statutes of 2013), and amended by Senate Bill 97 (Chapter 357, Statutes of 2013). The charter school LCFF funding is calculated as one entitlement amount and, with some exceptions funded from a combination of state and local revenues.
