2014-15 P-2 Apportionment Letter

Dear County Superintendents of Schools:

2014−15 SECOND PRINCIPAL APPORTIONMENT

At the end of June, county treasurers will receive a warrant that reflects state aid for elementary, high, and unified school districts; charter schools; and county offices of education for programs included in the 2014–15 Second Principal (P-2) Apportionment. The California Department of Education (CDE) certified P-2 on June 19, 2015, pursuant to California Education Code (EC) Section 41335. The statewide total was $28,292,343,268. County superintendents of schools should advise school districts and charter schools immediately of this apportionment. Pursuant to Section 57 of Senate Bill 858 (Chapter 32, Statutes of 2014), the July deferral has been canceled and the entire P-2 payment will be paid in June.

This apportionment includes funding for 2014−15 as well as updated funding for the 2013−14 Annual R1 Apportionment, the 2012−13 Annual R3 Apportionment, and adjustments to other prior-year apportionments, as necessary.

A summary of the calculations that the CDE used in the P-2 Apportionment is available as an attachment to this letter. The letter and attachment, as well as funding exhibits and apportionment Excel files that provide detailed funding amounts related to the P-2 Apportionment are available on the CDE 2014−15 Principal Apportionment Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/pa/pa1415.asp.
