Dear County Office of Education Chief Business Officials:

The State Controller’s Office (SCO) distributed the 2020–21 third quarter lottery apportionment on June 28, 2021. The total apportioned to county offices of education, school districts, and charter schools is $436,832,989.46. Local educational agencies (LEAs) will receive $208,358,299.99 or $33.88 ($33.878287438) per unit of average daily attendance (ADA) for the unrestricted lottery apportionment and $228,474,689.47 or $37.15 ($37.149137659) per unit of ADA for the Proposition 20 lottery apportionment.

The California Department of Education requests that county superintendents of schools inform LEAs immediately of this apportionment. If you have any questions regarding the lottery apportionment, please contact the Categorical Allocations and Audit Resolution Office by email at CAAR@cde.ca.gov.

Sincerely,
