Dear County Office of Education Chief Business Officials:

2020–21 Third Quarter Lottery Apportionment

The State Controller’s Office (SCO) distributed the 2020–21 third quarter lottery apportionment on June 28, 2021. The total apportioned to county offices of education, school districts, and charter schools is $436,832,989.46. Local educational agencies (LEAs) will receive $208,358,299.99 or $33.88 ($33.878287438) per unit of average daily attendance (ADA) for the unrestricted lottery apportionment and $228,474,689.47 or $37.15 ($37.149137659) per unit of ADA for the Proposition 20 lottery apportionment.

To view a copy of the Master Register that lists the ADA, apportionment, adjustments, and net amount actually paid (Remittance Advice) to each county office, school district, charter school, and community college district on a quarterly and year-to-date basis, visit the SCO’s web page at https://www.sco.ca.gov/ard_payments_lottery.html.

The California Department of Education requests that county superintendents of schools inform LEAs immediately of this apportionment. If you have any questions regarding the lottery apportionment, please contact the Categorical Allocations and Audit Resolution Office by email at CAAR@cde.ca.gov.

Sincerely,

Keith Smith, Education Fiscal Services Administrator
