Duplicating the Unduplicated Allocation process

What expenses are allowed in Resource 09800

Expense must be within intervention support, classroom support, or professional development
There is not a definitive “yes” or “no” to what is allowable which is why the justification is critical.
The following should always be considered:

Supplemental/Concentration is intended for the principal benefit of unduplicated students.
Must identify the need of unduplicated student (the need of an English Learner can be the same as the need of a Low-Income student but at times it can also be very different).
Other mitigating factors to consider, include but are not limited to the following: demographics, access, support, location, finance, availability

Example: A school site with a low unduplicated pupil percentage may not be able to attribute a bilingual attendance assistant position towards supplemental/concentration; whereas, a school with a high unduplicated pupil percentage could.
Example: A One-Way Language Immersion school has certificated teachers that are required to be bilingual; however, they would not be allowed because the principal benefit is for Native English speaking students to learn a second language.

Sample LCFF Justification

Attendance Assistant position used to strategically combat chronic absenteeism, through live phone calls, parent engagement, and student outreach in support of unduplicated students. The position will work with the school counselor in efforts to develop attendance incentive program and create a positive and welcoming environment.

Detail Goods or Service and what will be provided
Explain the benefit of the good/service and how it will principally benefit unduplicated students
When possible use data to support justification and show effectiveness

What is Title I?

Title I is intended to be supplemental to the core program. Title I funds ARE NOT limited only to instructional costs (such as teachers). According to federal law, Title I funds can be used for non-instructional costs (behavior supports, attendance programs, community/parent engagement) if these costs are shown to help improve student achievement.

Base Allocation ($18,600,000)
Supplemental Allocation ($8,200,000)
Parent Involvement Allocation

LCFF & Title I Funding SPSA Alignment

School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) Alignment – Site Accountability

Efforts to ensure accountability the LCFF & Title I funds are detailed within the sites SPSA.
To support the intended purposes of LCFF & Title I funding sites are expected to explain how funds are planned to be spent in support of pupils.
The explanation should include what the services is, who it is intended to support, and how or why it is the most effective use of funds. In addition, for Title I funds Annual Measurable Outcomes should be set for targeted student populations.

Governor’s Proposed Budget for 2022-23

Latest guidance from SDCOE

Covers fiscal years 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24

Impacts of Governor’s Proposed Budget

Proposes to permanently alter the formula from the greater of current or prior year ADA, to the greater of current year, prior year, or average of three prior years’ ADA, whichever is greater. Allows an extended period of time to adjust budgets for the significant ADA declines most districts have realized.

Significant new investments are categorical and come with restrictions.

Loss of federal funding in outyears continues to be a factor.
