The AB 602 funding model provides funding to the SELPAs based on rate per unit of ADA. A 2.71 percent cost-of-living adjustment is provided for the 2018–19 fiscal year. The Out-of-Home Care (OHC) Program is another major component of the AB 602 funding model. Two Extraordinary Cost Pool funds are also distributed through the AB 602 funding model (refer to the ECP Funding Profile and the ECPMH Funding Profile for more information).
