EffectsofCurrentFundingFormula
Growth NotFullyRestored Stability
Data-InformedandEquityFocused
● Establish a process for an annual review and analysis of the funding formula.
● Annual reports to the Board of Governors by March of each year.
● Set a plan in place for an equity focused funding model while enabling necessary adjustments to meet key principles.
25%
EquitableSuccess
Metrics are based on Strong Workforce Program (SWP) 17% incentive funding research and Guided Pathways key performance indicators (KPIs).
Districts are recognized for the successful outcomes of economically disadvantaged students.
● Measure All Transfers
● Employment and Economic Mobility
● Capture Momentum Points
75%
Access
● Continue to provide basic allocation, base FTES revenue and growth adjusted by the annual COLA
● The higher of: (1) the current year FTES, or (2) a three-year average FTES
● A three-year average supports planning for new, and continuation of, highly effective programs
Thoughtful&Phased-In
Implemented in year three as outlined unless the Board of Governors proposes new measures after extensive research and simulations.
Transition: ● Equitable Success metrics would increase
by 5% each year until full implementation.
● At full implementation, over $2 billion would be dedicated to Equitable Success metrics.

● Enables alignment of reporting metrics and maximizes services to students
ImplementationTimeline
2 Year Program Transition
● No districts would receive less funding than prior fiscal year.

5 Year Equitable Success Formula Phase-In
● Equitable Success metrics would increase by 5% each year until full implementation.
