Program Description

• The New Charter School Supplemental Categorical Block Grant program was a supplemental categorical block grant that was available to charter schools that began operation during or after the 2008–09 fiscal year. The supplemental block grant funds could be used for any educational purpose.
  
  Eligible charter schools received funding equal to $127 per unit of charter school average daily attendance (ADA) as determined at the current year second principal apportionment. A conversion charter school that commenced operations after 2008–09 was eligible for the same amount from the authorizer, unless both parties agreed upon an alternative amount.
  
  In 2010–11, locally funded charter schools that converted from a preexisting school between the 2008–09 and 2010–11 fiscal years were not eligible for funding.
  
  Starting in 2011–12, locally or direct funded charter schools that converted from a pre-existing school starting in 2008–09 were not eligible for funding; in-lieu of receiving the New Charter School Supplemental Categorical Block Grant funding, school districts were required to provide these new conversion charter schools that commenced operations within the district during or after the 2008–09 fiscal year, $127 per unit of ADA at the current year second principal apportionment.
