The 2018-19 Budget: 2018-19 COLA for K-14 Education Programs

Apr 30, 2018 - Based on the new COLA rate of 2.71  percent, we now estimate the cost of COLA has increased to $1.7  billion —$1.3  billion for LCFF and $373  million for other programs. Holding other factors constant (including estimates of the Proposition  98 minimum guarantee), the higher cost of COLA reduces the funding available for the state ’s other Proposition  98 priorities by $122  million.
