Dear County Office of Education Chief Business Officials:

The State Controller’s Office (SCO) distributed the 2018–19 third quarter lottery apportionment on June 26, 2019. The total apportioned to county offices of education, school districts, and charter schools is $367,681,256.56. Local educational agencies (LEAs) will receive $177,264,251.08 or $28.70 ($28.696882971) per unit of average daily attendance (ADA) for the unrestricted lottery apportionment and $190,417,005.48 or $30.83 ($30.826150610) per unit of ADA for the Proposition 20 lottery apportionment.

The California Department of Education requests that county superintendents of schools inform LEAs immediately of this apportionment.
