Dear County Superintendents of Schools:

2015−16 SECOND PRINCIPAL APPORTIONMENT

Towards the end of June, county treasurers will receive a warrant that reflects state aid for elementary, high, and unified school districts; charter schools; and county offices of education for programs included in the 2015–16 Second Principal Apportionment (P-2). The California Department of Education (CDE) certified P-2 on June 21, 2016, pursuant to California Education Code (EC) Section 41335. The statewide total was $33,053,349,233. County superintendents of schools should advise school districts and charter schools immediately of this apportionment.

This apportionment includes funding for 2015−16 as well as updated funding for the 2014−15 Annual R1 Apportionment, the 2013−14 Annual R3 Apportionment, and adjustments to other prior year apportionments, as necessary.

A summary of the calculations that the CDE used in the P-2 Apportionment is available as an attachment to this letter. The letter and attachment, as well as funding exhibits and apportionment Excel files that provide detailed funding amounts related to the P-2 Apportionment are available on the CDE 2015−16 Principal Apportionment Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/pa/pa1516.asp. Additional Excel files for Special Education can be obtained under the Allocations and Apportionments Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/se/.
