School Resources and the Local Control Funding Formula. Is Increased Spending Reaching High-Need Students? Technical Appendices
LaFortune, Julien
Public Policy Institute of California
California enacted the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) in 2013-14 in an effort to simplify school finance, revamp accountability, and increase funding for high-need students--those who are low income, English Learners, homeless, and/or foster youth. The LCFF represents an overhaul of the previous system of K-12 school finance that had been in place for nearly four decades. Under the LCFF, extra funding is allocated to districts with more high-need students. The full report provides new evidence on the effects of LCFF on the distribution of educational resources across districts and schools. These technical appendices to the full report present: (1) Data Sources and Sample Construction; (2) Estimating Teacher Salaries; (3) Empirical Framework; and (4) Supplemental Tables and Figures. [For the full report "School Resources and the Local Control Funding Formula: Is Increased Spending Reaching High-Need Students?," see ED598095.]
