Base Allocation Principles
• Equitable distribution of special education revenues to all districts is the primary fiscal goal of AB602. To accomplish this purpose, all districts share equally in the allocation and apportionment of AB602 revenues. The SELPA-wide per ADA rates (base, COLA, equalization, growth (if applicable) and other) as reflected on the State AB602 Exhibit (subject to the deficit), along with the federal IDEA funds for age 5-21 programs (PL 94-142 Local Assistance Entitlements), will be used to calculate revenue distributions for all districts. It should be noted that Federal IDEA Local Assistance funds are included in the calculation to establish
the “blended” per ADA rate. However, they are distributed to SELPA members/districts based on current year December Pupil Count.
• It is the intent that no district entitlement will be lower than the revenues received for their 1997-98 units from State Aid under the J-50 process. However, this entitlement is subject to adjustment as a result of declining enrollment and/or if special education programs are no longer operated within the district. • Regionalized Services/Program Specialist (RS/PS) funds will be deducted from the State portion of AB602 funds at an historical average five-year rate of 3.52663% (See Exhibit C) prior to the calculation of district total special education per-ADA rates. • District total special education per-ADA rates will be recalculated annually. Additional recalculations will follow each CDE certified AB602 Funding Exhibit (P-1, P-2, Annual, Annual R-1, Annual R-2, and Annual R-3). • The primary source of funding for district special education services is the equitable share of general fund revenues generated by the proportionate amount of time that students with disabilities spend in special education classes.
• AB602 revenue is intended to supplement general fund revenues to cover the excess costs of providing special education services to students with disabilities.
