Rename NCLB detail lines to reflect the new Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) titles, due to the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA).

• Form 71/71I—Other Sources/Uses section. Remove the line for Object 7699, All Other Financing Uses, effective 2016-17.
  

Note:   The next validation table update will close the Fund 71 x Object 7699 combination, along with the Fund 71 x Function 9100 (Debt Service) combination, both effective 2016-17 budget/interim data.

Rename Supplemental Form

  Modify the minimum contribution requirement of the Ongoing and Major Maintenance/Restricted Maintenance Account, per Education Code Section 17070.75 as amended by AB 104 (Chapter 13, Statutes of 2015), to calculate as the greater of the following, effective 2017–18:

  2. The lesser of: a) the amount the COE/district contributed into the account for the 2014-15 fiscal year, or b) three percent of the total unrestricted (COEs only) general fund expenditures and other financing uses for the current year.

Revised Reports

  Part B––Local Expenditures Only Method
  Remove the automatic extraction of prior year expenditure data, requiring LEAs to manually enter expenditure and special education unduplicated pupil count data for the comparison year under all four methods. The intent of this change is to facilitate the data collection for the separate Subsequent Year Tracking (SYT) worksheet and to provide clear presentation of which method(s) the maintenance of effort is/are met.
