Proposition 30, The Schools and Local Public Safety Protection Act of 2012, approved by the voters on November 6, 2012 (sunset in 2017), and Proposition 55, The California Extension of the Proposition 30 Income Tax Increase Initiative, approved by the voters on November 8, 2016, temporarily increase the state's sales tax and the personal income tax rates. Alameda Unified School District will receive funds from the Education Protection Account (EPA) based on the District’s proportionate share of the statewide revenue limit amount. The State of California will make a corresponding reduction to Alameda Unified’s Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) entitlement. As the State will reduce LCFF funding by the amount of EPA revenue, the district will move corresponding expenditures to the EPA.
Pursuant to Article XIII, Section 36 of the California Constitution, school districts, county offices of education, and community college districts are required to determine how the money received from the Education Protection Account will be spent in the schools within its jurisdiction. The language in the constitutional amendment requires that funds shall not be used for the salaries and benefits of administrators or any other administrative costs.
Before June 30th of each year, the District estimates the total amount of additional revenues that will be available for transfer into the Education Protection Account.
The Education Protection Account proposed spending plan was presented to the Board at its June 11, 2024 meeting and tonight staff is asking the Board to approve the proposed 2024-2025 Education Protection Account Spending Plan by adopting Resolution No. 2023-2024.82.
