The State Controller’s Office (SCO) distributed the 2017–18 fourth quarter lottery apportionment on September 28, 2018. The total apportioned to county offices of education, school districts, and charter schools is $308,467,290.54. Local educational agencies (LEAs) will receive $148,654,201.08 or $23.96 ($23.962846339) per unit of average daily attendance (ADA) for the unrestricted lottery apportionment and $159,813,089.46 or $25.76 ($25.761643136) for the Proposition 20 apportionment.
