| Note: Table reflects ongoing and one-time Proposition 98 funding that counts toward the minimum guarantee. Some one-time funding provided in the 2026-27 budget package is attributed to 2025-26 or 2024-25. In nearly all cases, a decline in the "change" column reflects that more one-time funding was attributed to 2025-26 than the budget year. | |||||
