Dear County Superintendents of Schools:

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 2011–12 First Principal (P-1) Apportionment. The California Department of Education (CDE) certified P-1 on February 17, 2012, pursuant to California Education Code Section 41332. The statewide total was $24,679,491,189.

This apportionment includes funding for 2011–12 as well as updated funding for the 2010–11 apportionment (2010–11 Annual), the 2009–10 apportionment (2009–10 Annual R2), and adjustments to other prior-year apportionments, as necessary.

A summary of the calculations that the CDE used in the P-1 Apportionment and the apportionment exhibits that provide detail related to the P-1 Apportionment are available on the CDE Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/pa/pa1112.asp.  Additional exhibits for Special Education can be obtained under Allocations/Apportionments on the web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/se/. County superintendents of schools should advise school districts and charter schools immediately of this apportionment.
