The 2021-22 Budget: School Mental Health

Feb 12, 2021 - As a result, existing partnerships are better positioned to apply for the matching funds. Number of Projects Likely to Receive Matching Funds Is Uncertain.

The 2026-27 Budget: Proposition 98 Guarantee and K-12 Spending Plan

Feb 4, 2026 - In these cases, the state usually reduces school spending to match the lower guarantee. In 2019 ‑20, however, the state adopted a new law prohibiting spending reductions after the fiscal year ends.

The 2026-27 Budget: Fiscal Outlook for Schools and Community Colleges

Nov 19, 2025 - This surplus remains small over the next few years, but increases in the final year when the guarantee grows more rapidly.

If revenues grow more slowly than our forecast assumes for the next few years, however, the guarantee likely could not even support existing  programs.

May 15, 2019 - As a rough rule of thumb, we think a $2 nonstate match for every $1 of General Fund would be reasonable. That is, UC would match the Governor ’s proposed $25 million one-time General Fund with $50 million one-time nonstate funds.
