Dear County Superintendents of Schools:

2016−17 FIRST PRINCIPAL APPORTIONMENT

Towards the end of February, 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 2016–17 First Principal Apportionment (P-1). The California Department of Education (CDE) certified P-1 on February 17, 2017, pursuant to California Education Code (EC) Section 41332 in the amount of $35,241,448,095. County superintendents of schools should advise school districts and charter schools immediately of this apportionment.

This apportionment includes funding for 2016−17 as well as updated funding for the 2015−16 Annual Apportionment, the 2014−15 Second Annual Recertification, and adjustments to other prior year apportionments, as necessary.

A summary of the calculations that the CDE used in the P-1 Apportionment is available as an attachment to this letter.
