Dear County Superintendents of Schools, Auditors, Treasurers, and Special Education Local Plan Area Directors:

2009–10 Second Principal Apportionment

Towards the end of June, county treasurers will receive a warrant that reflects a portion of state aid for elementary, high, and unified school districts; charter schools; and county offices of education for programs included in the 2009–10 Second Principal (P-2) Apportionment. The California Department of Education (CDE) certified P-2 on June 22, 2010, pursuant to California Education Code (EC) Section 41335. The statewide total was $23,250,108,242. The amount not paid in June will be paid in July except a portion of the July payment will be deferred for up to 60 days in order to meet the requirements of Government Code Section 16326.

This apportionment includes funding for 2009–10 as well as updated funding for the 2008–09 apportionment (2008–09 Annual R1), the 2007–08 apportionment (2007–08 Annual R3), and adjustments to other prior-year apportionments, as necessary.
