The 2011-12 Budget: Year-Two Survey—Update on School District Finance in California

Linking this funding to students would help create a rational basis for making future funding adjustments. If the Legislature chose to streamline its education finance system, the transition to such a system also would be less disruptive if most existing state funding already were linked to students and adjusted annually according to changes in the student population.

LAO 2007 Budget Analysis: Perspectives on State Revenues

We believe that this estimate is based on optimistic assumptions about both (1) the speed with which new slot machines would be put in place and (2) the amount of revenues generated per machine. We are assuming that, if approved, the compacts would yield no more than $200 million in 2007-08, or $306 million less than projected in the budget.

LAO 2008 Budget Analysis: California Community Colleges (6870)

This is the amount of funding associated with approximately 20,000 unfilled slots that became vacant before 2006 –07. The base budget was allowed to retain another $55 million in funding for an estimated 12,000 enrollment slots that became newly vacant in 2006 –07.

LAO 2009-10 Budget Analysis Series: Higher Education: Governor’s Budget Proposal For Higher Education

This would restore the link between budgeted and actual enrollment levels by locking in more realistic (and higher) enrollment levels than those proposed by the Governor, and would ensure a level of enrollment capacity that upholds the Master Plan ’s promise of access.

LAO 2009-10 Budget Analysis Series: Higher Education: CCC Enrollment Levels and Funding

In addition, the base budget retained another $44 million for the enrollment slots that became newly vacant in 2007 –08. When these new growth funds are combined with the unused slots from 2007 –08, the 2008 –09 budget provides CCC with enough funding to accommodate an additional 33,000 FTE students, or 2.8 percent of base enrollment.
