Another Year, Another Dollar?
Looks like another year with the threat of trigger cuts
Other areas without change:• Federal funding uncertainty• Same accountability requirements• Weighted Student Formula conversations
continue

Waiting for the Vote
Outcome of Proposition 30 and/or 38 will determine what happens next• Both measures would raise revenue• Voter favorability is waning • Trigger cuts automatic if Proposition 30 fails

But, Some Changes Ahead
Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are moving ahead
Further adjustments in programs• Due to CCSS• Limited funding

What if…Mid-Year Cuts?
Answer and discuss the following questions:• How does your district plan to respond to
trigger cuts in 2012-13?• What will be the impact on 2013-14?• How will categorical funding be affected?

Risks and Reality of Supplanting
Increasing pressure to “creatively” use categorical funding
Extremely important to ensure categorical funding is used for supplemental and allowed uses
11
![Page 14: San Bernardino County Office of Education Making Money Matter](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051517/56815a62550346895dc79e74/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
WestEd.org
Rules are Clear, but Reality is Messy
In the simplest terms, supplement-not-supplant rules require that funds be used to provide services and support that meet the following criteria:
• Are above and beyond the “core” program
• Were not previously funded with a state or local resource
12
![Page 15: San Bernardino County Office of Education Making Money Matter](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051517/56815a62550346895dc79e74/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
WestEd.org
Rules are Clear, but Reality is Messy
But, in reality, there are lots of questions:• How does one determine what would have
been in the absence of available funds?
• What happens if cuts are made because of budget reductions?
• If there are multiple funds that have supplement, not supplant restrictions, is there an order to correctly use the funding?
13

Facts about Supplement, not Supplant
Supplement, not supplant is:• Specific on how money is used
• Tested year-to-year
• Possible to vary district to district (or region to region), but not site to site within a single district
• Expected that LEAs can demonstrate compliance» Presumed guilty until proven innocent
• A costly area of noncompliance

How to Approach Supplement,Not Supplant
There are many approaches to ensure that supplement-not-supplant requirements are met
Here are a few examples:
• Build from the ground up – start with “core” and add supplements to this
• Relative to what’s in place – start with last year and build forward to next year
• Revisions based on budget cuts – adjust “core” and then supplement
17
![Page 20: San Bernardino County Office of Education Making Money Matter](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051517/56815a62550346895dc79e74/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
WestEd.org
Start with Core: What is It?
A major starting point for determining what is supplemental is knowing what is “core”
• For the purposes of determining categorical compliance, core is anything that is required to meet the basic instructional and support requirements for instructional delivery
18
![Page 21: San Bernardino County Office of Education Making Money Matter](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051517/56815a62550346895dc79e74/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
WestEd.org
Start with Core: What is It?
With this in mind, for California, core includes:
• School facilities maintained to meet state and local health and safety requirements
• Classroom teachers
• School site and district administrators
• Instructional materials for core subject areas
• Instructional materials for English Language Development (ELD)
• Instructional day and year that meet minimum state requirements
• Standardized assessments required for state and federal accountability 19
![Page 22: San Bernardino County Office of Education Making Money Matter](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051517/56815a62550346895dc79e74/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
WestEd.org
Start with Core: What is Supplemental?
If we start with core, anything that is provided above the core is potentially supplemental• That is, if it is not part of the support that was present the year
before
Considerations:• How many teachers, administrators, counselors, and other staff are
provided to all schools – without special consideration for additional needs of students at the site?
• What materials and assessments are provided to meet state requirements?
• What supplies and resources does a site need in order to support the basic educational needs of students?

• Treat every activity as an investment• Spending alone insufficient to

Fine Tuning 2012-13 Allocations

How Does Your District Allocate Title I and Economic Impact Aid Funding?
Answer and discuss the following questions:• How does your district allocate Title I and EIA
funding?• Why is the allocation made this way?• What is the impact on site and program
behavior?• Are changes being considered?

Centralized Services
A centralized service refers to services or support organized centrally on behalf of sites
Centralized services can include administrative and direct service functions
To fully comply with the 85-15 rule, if centralized services are received by a site, they must be involved in the process of selection

Centralized Services: Advice
Sites need to be involvedThe amount of the service plus the site
directed allocation should match the total in the budget and CARS
Be sure to keep plans up to date, especially if changes are made after the approval of the SPSA

Doing More is Nearly Impossible
There’s not enough time, energy, or money to realistically expect more
However, it’s reasonable to expect better results from a different approach
