SECTION G
Report from Michael Hulsizer
1
OFFICE OF CHRISTINE LIZARDI FRAZIER KERN COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
TO: FCMAT Board Meeting DATE: January 25, 2017
FROM: Michael Hulsizer
SUBJECT: Governor’s 2017-18 Budget Proposals
On January 10, Governor Brown released his 2017-18 Budget Proposals. In his press conference, the Governor reported that state revenue collections over the past six months indicate the “tide has begun to turn”. More specifically, while state revenues continue to increase, “the trajectory of General Fund revenue growth” have again declined from estimates used by the administration last June when the 2016-17 budget was enacted.
The Governor’s budget summary reports that revenues for the three year period 2015-16 through 2017-18 are now $5.8 billion or 1.6% lower than projected last June.
$1.501 billion reduction in 2015-16 $1.544 billion reduction in 2016-17 $2.734 billion reduction in 2017-18
The administration provides two primary reasons for the revenue deterioration. First, reduced overall wage growth in California is a result of lower-income workers making up a much larger share of new workers entering the labor force. Second, reductions in General Fund tax collections since June--five of the past seven months have fallen short of monthly revenue estimates.
2
As a consequence, the Governor points out that the current 2016-17 budget, absent corrective action, would face a deficit of almost $2 billion. Accordingly, Governor Brown proposes a number of one-time spending adjustments, delays and suspensions to General Fund spending commitments in order to “rebalance the budget”, including a $1.8 billion downward adjustment of K-14 (Proposition 98) spending. Other major “budget solutions” intended to allow the State to manage the lower revenue collections include:
Eliminate the $400 million set-aside for affordable housing that was never allocated. Eliminate a $300 million spending transfer to modernize state office buildings. Delaying $226.8 million in scheduled child care rate increases until 2018-19. Eliminating Middle Class Scholarships to new students, and Postponing “a variety of spending proposals (including those to implement new legislation) from
state departments that otherwise were justified”. The incoming Trump administration has suggested it will pursue significant policy changes to Medicaid, trade, immigration and tax policy that will impact California. The Governor’s budget, however, assumes a continuation of existing federal policy because at this point, it is not clear what those changes will be or when they will take effect. The Governor’s budget summary does acknowledge that “many of these proposed changes being discussed by the President-elect could have serious and detrimental effects on the state’s economy and budget.” The Governor proposes expanding the state Rainy Day/Budget Stabilization Fund by $1.156 billion in 2017-18 to bring the total balance in the reserve fund to $7.9 billion or 63% of the constitutional target.
Key Education Budget Elements
Despite the spending corrections noted above, the Governor’s 2017-18 budget does increase the K-14 education (Proposition 98) spending guarantee to $73.5 billion and provides a slight $744 million net LCFF gap funding increase for school districts in 2017-18 above current year LCFF funding levels. The revised proposal is just enough to ensure that the 1.48% statutory COLA will be covered for school districts, county offices and charters. However, this represents a significant reduction in LCFF gap funding from the $2.2 billion in LCFF gap funding that was projected for 2017-18 by the administration this past June. As a result of the $5.8 billion reduction in General Fund Revenue for budget years 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18, $1.8 billion in adjustments to the K-14 (Proposition 98) guarantee spending levels are proposed by the Governor. Specifically, for the three-year period, the Governor proposes the following adjustments in K-14 (Proposition 98) spending from the levels approved when the current budget was enacted last June:
o $400 million reduction in the 2015-16 Proposition 98 guarantee o $506 million reduction in the 2016-17 Proposition 98 guarantee o $953 million reduction in the 2017-18 Proposition 98 guarantee
3
The 2017-18 K-14 (Proposition 98) spending level is now projected to be $73.5 billion, a $2.1 billion increase from the adjusted 2016-17 level of $71.4 billion.
Additionally, to accommodate the $1.8 billion three-year reduction to K-14 (Proposition 98) spending that was authorized in the 2016-17 budget, the Governor proposes the following adjustments in prior, current and budget year spending:
A shift of $859.1 million in Local Control Funding Formula expenditures from June 2017 to July 2017. This “deferral” is intended to” maintain 2016-17 programmatic expenditure levels as the Governor’s Budget proposes to immediately repay this deferral in July of 2017. The Governor does not intend to carry this deferral forward as his budget proposes to make a make a second payment on (pay-in-full) these same LCFF expenditures in the 2017-18 budget year.
A shift of $310 million of one-time discretionary funding expenditures provided in the 2015-16 budget to 2016-17 as a result of the reduction to the Proposition 98 guarantee in 2015-16.
After making the above adjustments to K-12 spending and reducing the state’s Proposition 98 spending obligation, the Governor is able to propose $744 million in LCFF gap funding for school districts and charter schools in 2017-18, thereby meeting the revised 1.48% statutory obligation of the state. The Department of Finance has released updated LCFF gap closure percentages and COLA projections for the budget year through 2020-21.
2017-18 January Budget LCFF Gap Closure and COLA Revised Estimates
2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21
Transition Funding $2.942 billion $744 million $1.904 billion $2.022 billion $2.294 billion
Gap Closure 55.28% 23.67% 53.85% 68.94% 100%
COLA 0.00% 1.48% 2.40% 2.53% 2.66%
4
The Proposition 98 spending level for 2017-18 will now exceed the levels reached just prior to the great recession in 2007-08 by over $15 billion and by $26.2 billion from 2011-12—the lowest level of funding for schools during the recession.
The Governor’s budget proposes the following additional K-12 budget adjustments:
One-Time Discretionary Funding. $287 million ($48 per ADA est.) in one-time Proposition 98 funding for school districts, charter schools and county offices of education over and above the cost shift on prior year one-time funding described above. The funds are intended to offset any mandate reimbursement claims. The Governor states that these funds are to be used at local discretion, to support critical investments such as content standards implementation, technology, professional development, induction programs for beginning teachers and deferred maintenance.”
County Offices of Education Local Control Funding Formula. $2.4 million in Proposition 98 funding to county offices of education to support a 1.48% cost-of-living adjustment and ADA changes for county offices of education.
Career Technical Education Funding. $200 million is proposed, the final funding installment for this three-year program initiated in the 2015-16 Budget. The administration makes no significant changes to its three-year grant program designed to stimulate innovation in career technical education. Commencing with 2018-19, school districts will be expected to support the full cost of these programs within their Local Control Funding Formula allocations.
Charter School Growth. $93 million in Proposition 98 funding for charter school growth.
Special Education. A decrease of $4.9 million in Proposition 98 funding that reflects a projected
decrease in Special Education ADA.
Cost of Living Adjustments. $58.1 million in ongoing Proposition 98 funding is provided to support a 1.48% cost of living adjustment for categorical programs that remain outside of the
5
Local Control Funding Formula, including Special Education, Child Nutrition, Foster Youth, Preschool, American Indian Education Centers, and the American Indian Early Childhood Education Program. COLAs for school districts and charter schools are provided within the increases for school district Local Control Funding Formula implementation.
Local Property Tax Adjustments. The budget reflects 2016-17 General Fund savings of $149.2
million in Proposition 98 General Fund costs as a result of higher offsetting property tax revenues and further savings of $922.7 million in Proposition 98 General Fund costs in 2017-18 as a result of increased offsetting local property tax revenues.
School District Average Daily Attendance. A decrease of $168.9 million in 2016-17
Proposition 98 costs is now estimated for school districts due to lower projected ADA and a decrease of $63.1 million in 2017-18 Proposition 98 GF costs for school districts as a result of further projected decline in ADA.
Proposition 98 Maintenance Factor. The administration projects “Test 3” years in 2016-17 and 2017-18. Accordingly, new maintenance factor obligations of $864 million and $264 million in 2016-17 and 2017-18, respectively would be created. The Governor now projects total outstanding Proposition 98 maintenance factor will be $1.364 billion in 2016-17 and $1.628 billion in 2017-18.
Mandate Block Grant Funding. An increase of $8.5 million in Proposition 98 funding reflects the addition of the Training for School Employee Mandated Reporters program.
Proposition 39. Proposition 39 was approved in 2012 and increases state corporate tax revenues.
For 2013-14 through 2017-18, the measure requires half of the increased revenues, up to $550 million per year, to be used to support energy efficiency. The Budget proposes $422.9 million to support school district and charter school energy efficiency projects.
Proposition 47. Proposition 47 was approved in 2014 and reduced the penalties for certain non-
serious and non-violent property and drug offenses. It also requires a portion of any resulting state savings to be invested into K-12 truancy and dropout prevention, victim services, and mental health and drug treatment. The Budget proposes $10.1 million to support investments aimed at improving outcomes for public school pupils in K-12 by reducing truancy and supporting pupils who are at risk of dropping out of school or are victims of crime, consistent with the provisions of Proposition 47.
Proposition 56. Proposition 56 was approved in November, 2016 and increases the cigarette tax by $2.00 per pack of cigarettes and an equivalent increase on other tobacco products. After making specified allocations, Proposition 56 requires 2% of the remaining revenue to be used for school programs that prevent and reduce the use of tobacco and nicotine products by young people. The Budget provides $29.9 million to support tobacco and nicotine prevention and reduction programs at K-12 schools.
Instructional Quality Commission. To prioritize funding for other purposes, the Budget delays
the current deadlines for the Commission to revise the content standards for visual and performing arts and world language, develop standards for computer science, and create a model curriculum in ethnic studies. Further, the Budget delays the current deadline for the Superintendent of Public Instruction to convene a computer science strategic implementation advisory panel.
6
Additional Program Reforms and New Expenditure Proposals In addition to the budget adjustments to core programs described above, the Governor also proposes and/or raises fiscal and policy changes in the areas of K-12 facilities, special education, child care, teacher recruitment/retention, accountability and workforce development.. K-12 Facilities & School Bond The Governor addresses the recently approved Kindergarten through Community College Public Education Facilities Bond Act of 2016 (Proposition 51) and acknowledges the authorization of $7 billion in state general obligation bonds for K-12 schools to be allocated through the current School Facilities Program in place as of January 1, 2015. As the State Allocation Board and the Office of Public School Construction begin to consider allocation of Proposition 51 resources, the Governor’s budget summary declares his intention to address some of the shortcomings within the existing program that were recently documented in the audit findings issued by the Office of State Audits and Evaluations in a 2016 audit of Proposition 1D School Facilities Program expenditures. In that audit, it was determined that 1,533 projects representing over $3 billion in Proposition 1D funds have been completed without ensuring the bond funds were appropriately expended. The audit found instances in which school districts inappropriately used school facilities bond funding to purchase vehicles, tractors, tablets, golf carts, mascot uniforms, and custodial/ cleaning supplies. To ensure appropriate usage of all School Facilities Program bond funds and effective program accountability and oversight, the Administration will work with the State Allocation Board and the Office of Public School Construction to revise policies and regulations to implement front-end grant agreements that define basic terms, conditions, and accountability measures for participants that request funding through the School Facilities Program. To complement this front-end accountability, the Administration will introduce legislation requiring facility bond expenditures to be included in the annual K-12 Audit Guide. Independent auditors will verify that local educational agencies participating in the School Facilities Program have appropriately expended state resources. Once these measures are in place to verify that taxpayers’ dollars are appropriately used, the Administration will support the expenditure of Proposition 51 funds. Special Education Over the last few years, the state has commissioned two comprehensive studies of California’s special education program and finance system. The first examination was through the California Statewide Special Education Task Force, formed in 2013 to examine the state of special education in California, analyze and consider best practices within the state and nation, and ultimately propose recommendations for improving the system. The task force was composed of parents, advocates, teachers, administrators, and experts in the field. In response to the recommendations of the task force, the 2015-16 Budget contained over $60 million in Proposition 98 funds to implement program changes and make targeted investments to improve service delivery and outcomes for all students with disabilities. In November 2016, the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) released its report on Special Education Finance in California. The Governor’s budget summary highlights four of the recommendations made by the PPIC to better align special education finance with the principles of the Local Control Funding Formula:
Provide special education funding directly to school districts as part of a district’s Local Control Funding Formula allocation.
7
Preserve the current census‑count methodology for distributing funding, and develop ways to distribute funding more equitably throughout the state.
Eliminate the current requirement for local educational agencies to join Special Education Local Planning Areas, and develop new ways to encourage regionalized services and cost pooling arrangements, particularly for small districts and charter schools.
Ensure the early education needs of children with disabilities are met. The Governor’s budget does not embrace any of the PPIC recommendations, instead it states that “the Administration will engage stakeholders throughout the spring budget process for feedback on the current special education finance system and the recommendations included in the recent evaluations.” The Governor identifies the following principles, which are consistent with the Local Control Funding Formula and that apply to all students that will be central in these stakeholder discussions:
School funding mechanisms should be equitable, transparent, easy to understand, and focused on the needs of students.
General purpose funding should cover the full range of costs to educate all students. School districts should be provided the flexibility to establish goals and design innovative ways
of delivering services to all students. School districts should be responsible for “planning and implementing programs that lead to
continuous improvement, measured by academic outcomes.” Finally, in the Child Care section of the Governor’s proposed budget, the administration recommends that children with exceptional needs and whose families exceed income eligibility guidelines be given access to part-day state preschool if all other eligible children have been served. This would allow part-day state preschool providers the flexibility to fill unused slots with other students who would benefit from early intervention or education. Accountability System Implementation The Governor’s budget asserts that the new school accountability system, which uses multiple measures of student success, provides a more complete picture of how schools are meeting the needs of California’s diverse student population than a single test score. The initial phase of the new accountability tool recently adopted by the State Board of Education includes a set of state and local performance measures that address the state priorities under the Local Control Funding Formula. The new accountability tool promotes equity by highlighting any disparities among student groups, furthering the state’s commitment to the highest need students and closing achievement gaps. An important part of the new accountability system is a web-based tool developed by the California State Board of Education that will help identify strengths and areas in need of improvement. This new tool will be referred to as the California School Dash Board and had previously been generally referred to as “the rubrics.” County offices of education, the State Department of Education and the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence will provide technical assistance and intervention for school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools identified as needing additional support. The budget summary states that county offices of education will continue to play a critical role within California’s emerging system of support for schools, often serving as the first line of assistance within this new structure. Child Care The state funds nine child care and early education programs and dozens of other programs that support services provided within these settings, including quality of care, family resource and referral agencies, and local child care planning councils. These programs are administered by the Department of Education and the Department of Social Services. From 2013-14 through 2016-17, the California added $447.5 million in non-Proposition 98 General Fund and $388.1 million in Proposition 98 funding for in child care and early learning programs.

The 2016-17 Budget Act increased provider reimbursement rates and added an additional 2,959 State Preschool slots. The 2017-18 Governor’s Budget includes augmentations of $87.9 million in non-Proposition 98 General Fund and $23.5 million in Proposition 98 funding to reflect full-year costs of 2016-17 Budget adjustments and increased costs of care in the CalWORKs Stage 2 and Stage 3 child care programs. The budget summary states that while further increases were intended in 2017-18, “lower-than-expected General Fund revenue growth and a more constrained budget environment” has caused the Governor to propose pausing additional augmentations until 2018-19. Accordingly, the Governor’s budget proposes making a three-year augmentation plan into one that is implemented over four years, beginning in 2016-17 and ending in 2019-20. Policy proposals for child care and preschool - The Governor’s Budget includes six policy proposals (two related to child care and four related to state preschool). The summary says these policies are intended to address some multiple program eligibility and administrative requirements. Two child care policy proposals:
Authorize the use of electronic applications for child care subsidies, making it less burdensome for eligible families to access care and more efficient for providers to process applications.
Align the state’s definition of homelessness with the federal McKinney-Vento Act for purpose of child care eligibility. Many providers receive both federal and state funds and different definitions of homelessness can be confusing.
Four preschool policy proposals
Allow children with exceptional needs, whose families exceed income eligibility guidelines, to access part-day state preschool if all other eligible children have been served. This would allow part-day state preschool providers the flexibility to fill unused slots with other students who would benefit from early intervention or education.
Eliminate licensing requirements for state preschool programs utilizing facilities that meet transitional kindergarten facility standards, specifically K-12 public school buildings.
Allow state preschool programs flexibility in meeting minimum adult-to-student ratios and teacher education requirements, allowing for alignment with similar transitional kindergarten requirements.
Simplify the process by which school districts can align program minutes for state preschool and transitional kindergarten students.
Significant Child Care Budget Adjustments:
Full‑Year Implementation of 2015 Budget Act Investments – The budget provides for an increase of $50.5 million in non‑Proposition 98 General Fund spending and $23.5 million in Proposition 98 spending to reflect full-year cost of new policies implemented part-way through the 2016-17 fiscal year. These costs are associated with an update of the Regional Market Reimbursement Rate to the 75 percentile of the 2014 regional market rate survey (beginning January 1, 2017), and an increase of 2,959 slots for full-day State Preschool (beginning April 1, 2017).
Pause Child Care Funding Increases in 2017-18 and pause new full-day State Preschool Slots – The Budget proposes to maintain reimbursement rates for child care providers at the 2016-17 level, pausing rate increases in 2017-18. This includes maintaining the Regional Market Reimbursement Rate at the 75 percentile of the 2014 regional market rate survey, maintain the Standard Reimbursement Rate at the full-year equivalent rate provided in the 2016-17 (a 5 percent increase over the prior year), and forgoing 2017-18 cost of living adjustments for child care providers. Additionally, pause 2,959 additional full-day State Preschool slots planned to
9
begin on April 1, 2019. In total, these proposals will save $121.4 million non-proposition 98 General Fund and $105.4 million in Proposition 98 funding.
Stage 2 – The budget provides for an increase of $135.8 million in non‑Proposition 98 General
Fund spending in 2017-18 to reflect an increase in the cost per case. Total cost for Stage 2 is $505 million.
Stage 3 – The budget provides for an increase of $1.6 million in non‑Proposition 98 General
Fund spending in 2017-18 to reflect increases in both the number of CalWORKs Stage 3 cases and the cost per case. Total cost for Stage 3 is $302.5 million.
Federal Child Care and Development Funds – the budget provides for a net increase of $4.8
million in federal Child Care and Development and $120.1 million federal TANF funds in 2017-18. Total federal funding is $736.6 million
Community Colleges and Workforce Opportunities - The Governor’s proposed Budget provides budget allocations for several community college programs that are intended to strengthen workforce development and foster job creation. These proposals are:
Strong Workforce Program - The proposed Budget includes $248 million Proposition 98 General Fund for the Strong Workforce Program. This program builds upon federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 (WIOA) funds and provides access to more regionally aligned, career technical education and workforce development programs/courses. The program is intended to strengthen programmatic collaboration among workforce investment boards, CCCs, local education agencies, and county human services agency employment and workforce development programs.
Adult Education Block Grant Program— The Budget includes $500 million ongoing Proposition
98 General Fund to support the Adult Education Block Grant Program. This program coordinates representatives from local educational agencies, community colleges, and other regional education, workforce, and industry partners to promote the educational opportunities offered to students and adult learners. Through this program, students and adult learners can access courses to complete their high school diplomas or general education equivalent, English as a Second Language courses, and pathways courses that lead to additional career opportunities.
Apprenticeship Programs - The Budget includes $54.9 million ongoing Proposition 98 General
Fund and approximately $13 million Employment Training Fund for apprenticeship programs. There are over 265 apprenticeship programs sponsored by local educational agencies, community colleges, and the Labor and Workforce Development Agency’s (Labor Agency) Employment Training Panel which support training to approximately 74,000 apprentices. These programs offer interested Californians a clear pathway to obtain classroom instruction and on‑the‑job training skills leading to gainful employment, while also providing California businesses with well‑trained employees.
Economic and Workforce Development Program - The Budget includes $22.9 million in ongoing
Proposition 98 funding to support this program. This program provides funding for targeted investments in economic and workforce development, focusing on priority and emergent industry sectors, providing short‑term grants to support industry‑driven regional education and training.
Teacher Workforce The 2016-17 budget provided some focus on the issue of teacher recruitment and preparation. The Integrated Teacher Preparation Program supports the creation of pathways that allow university students to graduate with a bachelor’s degree and a preliminary teaching credential within four years. These
10
programs are intended to increase the number of teacher candidates graduating annually and could save each teacher candidate approximately $20,000 by eliminating the cost of an additional year of school. The Classified School Employee Teacher Training grants, awarded to 25 local educational agencies, will support 1,000 classified school employees earning a teaching credential. The California Center on Teaching Careers will recruit individuals into the teaching profession by providing outreach and referral services, both online and at six regional centers across the state. Additionally, the Commission is engaged in a variety of initiatives to align educator preparation with new K-12 content standards, improve the availability of statewide teacher workforce data, and increase the state’s supply of credentialed teachers. Specific activities include:
Updating teacher and administrator standards to reflect adoption of Common Core and the Next Generation Science Standards.
Creating an online dashboard of information on teacher supply and demand and educator preparation.
Extending the validity period for teacher licensing exams. Establishing the Teaching Permit for Statutory Leave to authorize long-term substitutes for
teachers on extended leave. The 2017-18 Budget does not provide any additional funds beyond those from the prior year budget.
What’s Next The release of the Governor’s budget launches the six-month process of enacting a new state spending plan for 2017-18. Aside from a larger-than-anticipated reduction in state revenue projections and a resulting re-benching of K-14 (proposition 98) spending levels, the Governor’s proposals contain few surprises for school leaders. The Governor maintains his commitment to fiscally conservative revenue projections and resistance to new policy priorities that would create additional spending pressure. The Governor continues to prioritize LCFF implementation. Perhaps the most sobering feature of the January Budget is the Governor’s acknowledgment that if the policy and budget reforms embraced by the President-elect become a reality, the impact on California’s economy and budget could be serious and detrimental. While acknowledging further deterioration in the condition of PERS and STRS pension funds, the Governor proposes no additional increases to employer (or employee) contributions beyond those already scheduled. However, if history is a lesson, school leaders should anticipate that adjustments to future employer contribution levels will be seriously considered at or after the May Revision. The Governor and his Finance Director each made it clear in their press conference that they intend to pursue regulatory and statutory changes in the business of school construction and modernization before any Proposition 51 bond funds are made available to schools. Given the clear need for school facility improvements, we can expect State Allocation Board and Legislative activity in this area soon. While the Governor acknowledges the work of the special Task Force and PPIC on the issues surrounding special education policy and finance, it seems that the reforms proposed for SELPAs and the funding system are, most likely, a two-year proposition. The Governor’s revenue and spending estimates for the current and budget year are significantly lower ($5.2 billion) than those made by the Legislative Analyst last November and reflect both the Governor’s inherent fiscal conservatism and three months of additional deterioration in state revenue collections. Democrats will be hard pressed to make a case for additional spending, unless a turnaround in state revenue collection occurs this Spring. Still, Legislative Democrats have made it clear that they intend to seek spending augmentations for transportation, housing and, perhaps in health care spending to protect
11
Californians who might otherwise be negatively impacted by Republican threats to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Absent further general fund revenue deterioration in the first quarter of 2017, school leaders can expect the overall spending levels proposed by the Governor to be approved by the Legislature. There will be no appetite in the Legislature to further reduce K-14 spending. The administration can be expected to prioritize the current $744 million LCFF augmentation as it allows the state to meet its statutory COLA obligation. However, if revenues decline further this Spring, some or all of the $287 million in one-time discretionary funding for LEAs will be lost. If additional K-12 reductions are needed—it is possible that schools could see all, or part, of the $859.1 million funding delay, become an ongoing apportionment deferral. On the other hand, Legislative Democrats can be expected to express great concern over the Governor’s proposal to delay previously agreed upon increases in child care spending. If additional revenues (either within or outside of Proposition 98) become available in May, restoring the $200 million in child care augmentations in 2017-18 will be among the highest priorities of Legislative Democrats. I look forward to remaining in close contact with you during the coming months.

Action by CalPERS will cost school employers even more than expected
CalPERS board approves half-percent drop in discount rateEmployer contributions face significant increasesJust before the holiday, the CalPERS Board approved lowering what is known as the “discount rate” from 7.5 percent to 7.0 percent. This action effectively lowers what CalPERS projects will be the annual rate of return on its entire investment portfolio.
What this means for schoolsWith public employee pension benefits currently locked in place by law and court cases, lowering the assumed investment return will leave the Board no other route to make up an increasing gap between income and outgo except to increase CalPERS employer contribution rates faster and higher than expected.
The Good News: Although the impact will be felt as soon as the 2018-19 fiscal year, this action by CalPERS is being delayed one year for school employers and is being phased in over three years rather than taking effect in 2017-18.
The Bad News: By reducing the current discount rate from 7.5 percent to 7.375 percent in 2018-19, 7.25 percent in 2019-20, and then 7.0 percent in 2020-21, the CalPERS Board will be scheduling higher employer contribution rates that will significantly exceed previous projected increases.
The previous estimated schedule of employer contribution increases topped out at 20.4 percent in 2020-21. However, the new projected schedule shows the 2020-21 rate moving upward to 24.9 percent for that year, with a top rate of 28.2 percent in 2023-
http://link.csba.org/m/1/85483239/02-t17004-a00583d4b9004dc2bac649303b5ffd02/0/1/1[1/5/2017 2:30:09 PM]
24. This is not a typo; 28.2 percent in 2023-24 for school district, county office of education and local school joint power agency employer contributions for all classified employees (i.e. for transportation, Regional Occupational Centers & Programs, etc.).
The CalPERS action follows several months of discussions by CalPERS staff with investors, economists, employers (including CSBA) and employees. The problems with the CalPERS fund are considerable and substantial in that the system has an annual deficit of about $5 billion, and that number is growing by $1 billion a year. The investment portfolio is projected to grow by only 6.2 percent annually over the next 10 years. That difference between 6.2 percent and 7.5 percent has left the system only 68 percent funded with projections of that figure worsening each year.
The impact on schools from the higher contribution rates could reach an additional $500-750 million on an ongoing annual basis on top of the $6 billion in already scheduled increases between CalPERS and CalSTRS.
Looking aheadWhile the CalPERS Board has the authority to set its contribution rates, for CalSTRS to follow suit, legislation is needed. A representative from the Department of Finance stated support
http://link.csba.org/m/1/85483239/02-t17004-a00583d4b9004dc2bac649303b5ffd02/0/1/1[1/5/2017 2:30:09 PM]
for the move by CalPERS, and while the representative was speaking as an employer, it is no secret how Governor Brown feels about debt and keeping public pension systems afloat. Legislation or budget trailer bill language could be passed in the 2017-18 Legislative Session, setting forth a similar additional increase in employer contributions for CalSTRS, which covers certificated employees.
More information is likely forthcoming with the state budget season starting next week when Governor Brown releases his Budget Proposal. Addressing employer contribution rates is one of CSBA’s priorities for the current Legislative Session.
Please direct questions to:Carlos Machado, CSBA Legislative Advocate, or
Dennis Meyers, CSBA Assistant Executive Director for Governmental Relations.

California School Information Services (CSIS) Quarterly Report
FCMAT/California School Information Services
Program Status Report FY2016-17 January 2017
Introduction The California School Information Services (CSIS) Program, administered by the Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team (FCMAT), was created to address a variety of challenges faced by local education agencies (LEAs) in the management and exchange of public school student, staff, course and institutional information in California. This report provides a summary of FCMAT/CSIS work related to the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS) from late September 2016 through mid-January 2017. The body of the report contains two sections, one focused on completed and ongoing FCMAT/CSIS work related to CALPADS and one summarizing the Governor’s recommendation with respect to 2017-18 funding for CSIS support of CALPADS.
Summary of Recent FCMAT/CSIS CALPADS Accomplishments Highlights of FCMAT/CSIS’ CALPADS work in the past quarter include:
Supported the Fall 1 (enrollment, graduates, dropouts, Free and Reduced Price Meal (FRPM) eligibility, English Language Acquisition Status, Title III Eligible Immigrants and unduplicated counts of FRPM/English Learner/Foster Youth) and Fall 2 (staff demographics, staff assignments and FTE, student course enrollment, and English Learner services data) submissions. Support for these submissions included training and assistance to LEAs. Approximately 99% of LEAs certified their Fall 1 submission by the December 16, 2016 Fall 1 certification deadline. Support for the Fall submissions is still underway. As planned, the Fall 2 snapshot reports did not begin running until December 28, 2016 to allow LEAs to focus on Fall 1. Fall 2 training continues throughout January. The Fall 1 Amendment window ends on January 27, 2017. The Fall 2 certification deadline is March 3, 2017 and the amendment window closes on March 31, 2017.
With CDE, continued planning and requirements work for significant changes to be implemented in the End of Year collections in 2016-17, including the collection of student absenteeism data in the 2017 EOY 3, the addition of new snapshot reports on cumulative enrollments and collection of the appropriate indicator(s) when a student graduates with a Golden State Seal of Merit Diploma and/or a Seal of Biliteracy.
Completed requirements, development, testing and configuration/deployment work for CALPADS releases in October, November, December, and early January. Began development and testing for the late January releases. Began requirements work for releases later in the fiscal year.
With CDE, continued planning for improvements in the CALPADS security design and the transition of Special Ed reporting to CALPADS.
Supported LEAs in assigning and maintaining statewide student identifiers (SSIDs) and properly identifying English Learners.
Summary of CSIS Funding Included in the Governor’s Proposed 2017-18 Budget The Governor’s Proposed 2017-18 budget released on January 10, 2017 included $5,808,000 in one-time funding for CSIS. CSIS has received this level of funding since 2012-13. A Budget Change Proposal (BCP) was submitted that requested an increase in annual funding to address the structural deficit in the CSIS budget; this BCP was not included in the Governor’s proposal.
