This final apportionment equals 25 percent of the total $365,362,000 budget appropriation, and is distributed to special education local plan areas (SELPA) based on a rate per unit of average daily attendance (ADA) multiplied by the ADA reported for the 2017–18 Second Principal (P-2) Apportionment. The rates per ADA for this apportionment are $0.4498507945 for the Los Angeles Court Schools SELPA and $61.2867918790 for all other SELPAs.
