EffectsofCurrentFundingFormula

Growth NotFullyRestored Stability

Data-InformedandEquityFocused

●  Establish a process for an annual review and analysis of the funding formula.

●  Annual reports to the Board of Governors by March of each year.

●  Set a plan in place for an equity focused funding model while enabling necessary adjustments to meet key principles.

25%

EquitableSuccess

Metrics are based on Strong Workforce Program (SWP) 17% incentive funding research and Guided Pathways key performance indicators (KPIs).

Districts are recognized for the successful outcomes of economically disadvantaged students.

●  Measure All Transfers

●  Employment and Economic Mobility

●  Capture Momentum Points

75%

Access

●  Continue to provide basic allocation, base FTES revenue and growth adjusted by the annual COLA

●  The higher of: (1) the current year FTES, or (2) a three-year average FTES

●  A three-year average supports planning for new, and continuation of, highly effective programs

Thoughtful&Phased-In

Implemented in year three as outlined unless the Board of Governors proposes new measures after extensive research and simulations.

Transition: ●  Equitable Success metrics would increase

by 5% each year until full implementation.

●  At full implementation, over $2 billion would be dedicated to Equitable Success metrics.

Categorical Program Structure

The Student Equity & Success Program

●  Create a restricted categorical known as the Student Equity & Success program

●  Continued commitment to equity-minded, student-centered services and supports

●  Enables alignment of reporting metrics and maximizes services to students

ImplementationTimeline

2 Year Program Transition

●  No districts would receive less funding than prior fiscal year.

●  Districts allotted time to implement Guided Pathways, AB 705

5 Year Equitable Success Formula Phase-In

●  Equitable Success metrics would increase by 5% each year until full implementation.

●  Access funding based on higher of: (1) the current year FTES, or (2) a three-year FTES average.
