Instructions for Estimating the Cost of Audit Findings for Unduplicated Pupil Counts,

Grade Span Adjustments, and Instructional Time Penalties for School Districts and Charter Schools

for Fiscal Year 2015–16This Excel workbook was designed to assist local educational agencies (LEAs) and auditors in estimating the cost associated with audit findings for school districts and charter schools for the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) unduplicated pupil counts, LCFF kindergarten through grade three (K–3) grade span adjustment, and failure to comply with instructional time

requirements.

The workbook contains a total of four worksheets - this summary instruction worksheet and three calculation worksheets. Please fill in the cells highlighted in yellow of each appropriate worksheet(s). The adjustments calculated on each of the attached worksheets are independent of the others and should be used individually.

The worksheets were created to provide the estimated values of each audit finding for an LEA funded at LCFF Target and LCFF Floor and Gap. The result applicable to each LEA's LCFF funding status should be used. To verify the LEA's funding status, refer to the LCFF Transition Entitlement exhibit as of the 2015–16 Second Principal Apportionment:

--Current Year Gap Funding (Line C-3) of zero indicates funding at the LCFF Target; --Current Year Gap Funding (Line C-3) greater than zero indicates funding based on LCFF Floor and Gap.

To complete the worksheets, use information from the CDE's Web page as noted on each worksheet.

The 2015–16 Second Principal Apportionment (P-2) LCFF Target Entitlement and Unduplicated Pupil Percentage

Funding Exhibits are available on the CDE's Web page at:

http://ias.cde.ca.gov/apportionment/ias.aspx?schoolyearid=2015&RptType=P2&CertType=Non

To access the exhibits from the P-2 Fiscal Year 2015–16 drop down menu, select 1) Period: 2015–16 P-2; 2) Entity: School

District or Charter School; 3) Program: School District or Charter School LCFF Target Entitlement or Unduplicated Pupil Percentage; 4) County; 5) District; and 6) LEA: Charter School, if applicable.

The "Derived Value of ADA" worksheet is available on the CDE's Web page at:

State Board of Education Waiver of Fiscal Penalties: Pursuant to Education Code (EC) Section 46206, school districts and/or county offices of education that fail to maintain the prescribed minimum number of instructional minutes for the school year, minimum number of instructional days for the school year, or both, may seek a waiver of fiscal penalties with the State Board of Education (SBE). Pursuant to EC Section 47612.6, the SBE may also waive fiscal penalties for charter schools that fail to offer the minimum number of instructional minutes for the school year. Such waivers may only be granted upon the condition that the school(s) in which the minutes, days, or both, were lost, maintain minutes and days of instruction equal to those lost and in addition to the amount required, for twice the number of years that it failed to maintain the prescribed minimum number of instructional minutes or days for the school year. These adjustments must commence no later than the school year following the year in which the waiver was granted and continue for each succeeding school year until the condition is satisfied. Information specifically related to the waiver process can be found on the SBE Web page at:

More on Minimum Wage and Exempt Employees

The December 1, 2016, increase to the federal salary threshold for exempt employees (increasing to $47,476 per year) leaves school districts balancing the differences between state and federal statutes with the looming minimum wage increase. Despite the differences and all the questions they bring, local educational agencies must ensure state and federal compliance. In this article, we address some commonly asked questions, knowing more will arise as we get closer to implementation of these new requirements. Some questions may ultimately be answered by the courts.

Requirements Under Federal Law:

The federal salary threshold for exempt employees is going to be $47,476 per year beginning December 1, 2016. This threshold will increase every third year and is based upon the 40th percentile of weekly earnings for full-time salaried workers in the lowest-wage national Census Region. The new rates will be posted at least 150 days prior to the effective date. The statute allows employers to include nondiscretionary bonuses and incentive pay when calculating salary for up to 10% of the standard salary level as long as the payments are made on a quarterly or more frequent basis (California law does not allow this).

Requirements Under State Law:

In California, the salary threshold for an exemption is currently $41,600 annually, $800 weekly, or $3,466.67 monthly. However, as of December 1, 2016, any exempt employee will have to be paid a minimum of $913 per week for any week in which they work based on the federal threshold.

As the California minimum wage increases, so will the state threshold as it requires at least two times the minimum wage. As defined below and based on current federal regulations, California would meet the federal threshold on January 1, 2019. However, the federal threshold is anticipated to increase every three years starting on January 1, 2020 (note that the White House issued a Fact Sheet, which reports the federal threshold is expected to increase to more than $51,000).

The California salary threshold is scheduled to increase as follows based upon the increases in the minimum wage rate:

Minimum Salary Threshold

Effective Date Minimum Wage Weekly Monthly Annually

January 1, 2017 $10.50/hour $840 $3,640.00 $43,680

January 1, 2018 $11.00/hour $880 $3,813.33 $45,760

January 1, 2019 $12.00/hour $960 $4,160.00 $49,920

January 1, 2020 $13.00/hour $1,040 $4,506.67 $54,080

January 1, 2021 $14.00/hour $1,120 $4,583.33 $58,240

January 1, 2022 $15.00/hour $1,200 $5,200.00 $62,400

Implementation is delayed by one year for employers with 25 or fewer employees. Beginning January 1, 2024, the minimum wage in California will be adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index. However, the new law prohibits the minimum wage from decreasing as well as limiting any increase to no more than 3.5%.

Other Considerations

There are other items that add to the gray area surrounding this issue. Here are some of them to consider:

• There have been several legal cases in California that have resulted in the opinion that public employees are not entitled to the overtime provisions of Industrial Wage Order No. 4, which governs the overtime provisions of California law.

• Senate Bill 588, effective January 1, 2016, allows an employer or “any other person acting on behalf of an employer” to be sued by employees for wage and hour violations. However, Section 2802 of the Labor Code in California requires companies to indemnify managers and executives from personal liability and handle their defense (except in cases for sexual, racial, and age discrimination).

• Education Code Section (E.C.) 45130 provides that district boards may deem certain positions or classes of positions to be supervisory, administrative, or executive and may thusly be excluded from the overtime provisions of E.C. 45127 when “certified, in writing, by the board that the duties, flexibility in hours salary, benefit structure, and authority of the position(s) are of such a nature that they should be set apart from those positions which are subject to overtime provisions.”

What You Can Do Now . . .

This is one of those areas where we believe that the best course of action should include your labor attorney. Given that, here are some things that school employers can do now to prepare for the impact of the increases in the salary threshold for exempt employees and in the California minimum wage for all employees:

• Be aware of the timelines and backwards map any board action that will be needed• Develop a team of staff to review salaries, salary schedules, and duties of employees who are

classified as exempt and those who are earning less than the minimum wage• Strategize any impending changes to salary schedules by also including the effect of increasing the

salaries of those who are not impacted by either of these changes to address compression of the salary schedule if the lower and higher ends are impacted

• Budget for any increases or changes to salary schedules that will need to occur, including categorical program budgets as applicable

• Work with your boards, management, and bargaining units to plan for the long term as both the minimum wage and the exempt thresholds are rising

• Monitor both the state and federal exemption thresholds to ensure that you are in compliance (employee gets the benefit of the most advantageous)

• Weigh the options to reclassify exempt employees if the threshold cannot be met

• Communicate with employees, board, and management so as not to surprise anyone—employees may consider it a demotion if reclassified to a nonexempt position

What Happens if Proposition 55 Passes?

Proposition 30, enacted by state voters in 2012, established a temporary boost to the state sales tax and higher tax rates for high-income earners. The 0.25 cent increase in the sales tax is set to expire at the end of this calendar year, and the high bracket income tax rates expire at the end of 2018. The measure has generated approximately $8 billion annually of additional revenue to the state General Fund, with a portion of that increase going to schools through growth in the Proposition 98 minimum funding guarantee.

Proposition 55 will appear on the November General Election ballot and, if approved by state voters, will extend the high bracket income tax rates for an additional 12 years, through 2030. The 0.25 cent sales tax increment, however, will expire as originally planned.

What happens to school funding if voters approve Proposition 55? Before answering this question, it is important to remember that the revenue forecast upon which the current year budget is based assumes that the temporary taxes expire. In addition, the Governor’s Department of Finance’s (DOF’s) forecasts for General Fund revenues, Proposition 98 funding, and Local Control Funding Formula allocations also assume expiration of these higher tax rates. Therefore, if Proposition 55 passes, state revenues will be higher than currently forecast commencing in fiscal year 2018-19.

The high-bracket income tax could generate from $4 billion to $9 billion in additional state revenue, according to the Legislative Analyst’s Office. The wide range of this estimate is due to (1) the small number of individuals that will pay the higher tax rate, which is estimated at about 1.5% of all taxpayers; (2) the difficulty in predicting taxpayer behavior (i.e., their decisions to take capital gains and losses in a given year); and (3) the volatility of the stock market, the real estate market, and other capital assets.

Nevertheless, if we assume that the passage of Proposition 55 will generate about $8 billion annually, the first year effect for schools will be 2018-19, with fiscal year revenues being boosted in the second half of the year above the DOF’s baseline forecast. About 50% of each new dollar accrues to K-12 education and community colleges under Proposition 98; therefore, all else being equal, the first year impact of Proposition 55 could yield about $2 billion for K-14 education (i.e., 50% of the half-year revenue collection of $8 billion).

In the following year, the state will experience the full-year effect of Proposition 55, with Proposition 98 dedicating about $4 billion of the $8 billion in new revenue to K-14 education. K-12 schools’ share of this amount is about 90%, or $3.6 billion, and community colleges’ share is about 10%, or $400 million. On a per-pupil basis, therefore, K-12 schools should see a boost in funding of about $600 per average daily attendance at full implementation.

Unfortunately, because nothing is ever simple when it comes to California school finance, the actual amount received will depend upon which Proposition 98 test we’re on in a given year. For example, in a Test 2 year in which funding is determined by the change in per capita personal income—rather than the change in General Fund revenues, which occurs under Test 3, or the share of General Fund revenues under Test 1—Proposition 55 revenues would not directly affect funding for K-12 schools or the community colleges.

Over the long run, however, we believe that it is clear that public education will be significantly better off with the passage of Proposition 55, and we hope state voters recognize this fact.

Pension System Audits of Employers Continue

Both the California State Teachers’ Retirements System (CalSTRS) and California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) recently released reports with an update on their employer audit activities.

CalSTRS reports that during 2015-16, it issued 57 draft or final employer audit reports. The most frequent findings were in earnings that were reported to the Defined Benefit Program instead of the Defined Benefit Supplement Program, or that were not creditable at all. There were also frequent findings in the incorrect reporting of sick leave balances that should have been treated as excess sick leave upon retirement, as well as the incorrect reporting of postretirement earnings. These audit findings have impacted both active and retired members.

CalPERS reports completing 98 public agency reviews during 2015-16 (remember that CalPERS members are in many other public agencies in addition to schools and community colleges). Most of the findings were due to errors in reporting of regular earnings and special compensation. One of the findings in the State Controller’s review of CalPERS’ pension controls was that the system “. . . lacks sufficient oversight of reporting entities.” As a result, CalPERS is planning to modify its procedures for monitoring employers, such as increasing the use of technology-based analytics to identify potential pension spiking situations, and is adding positions to its audit staff.

All this to say that employers should be diligent in ensuring that procedures in local educational agency human resources and payroll operations are correctly capturing and reporting employee data, including sick leave balances and earnings, to the respective pension systems. Here are some articles from previous issues of our Fiscal Report publication that may be of assistance to you:

• See “Current Rules for Working After Retirement” in the March 11, 2016, Fiscal Report• See “Update on CalSTRS Employer Audits” in the August 21, 2015, Fiscal Report• See “CalPERS Reportable and Nonreportable Compensation” in the November 26, 2014, Fiscal

Report

Any glitches in reporting procedures can have a significant negative impact on the retirement benefits for local agency retirees as well as active employees, so it is critical to stay abreast of the requirements. The regulations are very specific and are subject to change, so we will continue to report changes to you as they occur through our Fiscal Report publication.

Instructional Materials Public Hearing Requirements for 2016-17 School Year

Education Code Section (E.C.) 60119 requires that the governing board of a school district hold an annual instructional materials public hearing to determine whether the district has sufficient standards-aligned textbooks and instructional materials.

Specifically, E.C. 60119 requires that each governing board:

• Hold a public hearing on or before the end of the eighth week from the first day pupils attend classes. For multitrack year-round schools, the requirement refers to the end of the eighth week from the first day that pupils attend classes in a track that begins in August or September.

• Post a notice of the hearing at least ten days in advance in at least three public places within the district. The notice must state the time, place, and purpose of the hearing. The hearing may not be held during or immediately following school hours.

• Encourage participation in the hearing by parents, teachers, members of the community, and bargaining unit leaders.

• Determine at the hearing whether “. . . each pupil in each school in the district has sufficient textbooks or instructional materials or both . . .” This is defined as each pupil, including English learners, having a “standards-aligned textbook or instructional materials, or both, to use in class and to take home.” The language does not require two sets of textbooks or instructional materials for each pupil regardless of whether homework is assigned. The use of “class sets” of instructional materials is insufficient.

◦ The requirement for sufficient textbooks may not be satisfied by photocopied sheets from a portion of a textbook or by instructional materials photocopied in response to a shortage.

◦ Instructional materials may be in a digital format as long as each pupil, at a minimum, has and can access the same materials in the class, and to take home, as all other pupils in the same class or course in the school district, and has the ability to use and access them at home.

• Determine whether each pupil enrolled in a foreign language or health course has sufficient standards-aligned textbooks or instructional materials.

• Determine whether laboratory science equipment is available to students in grades 9-12 enrolled in science laboratory courses.

• Adopt a resolution stating whether textbooks and instructional materials are sufficient.

If an insufficiency exists, disclose in the board resolution (1) the percentage of pupils in each school who lack sufficient standards-aligned materials to the public and to classroom teachers, and (2) the reasons for the insufficiency. The governing board must remedy any insufficiency identified at the hearing within two months of the beginning of the school year. The action cannot be one that would require reimbursement by the Commission on State Mandates. Previously, districts were allowed two years to correct any deficiency.

It is important that all school districts hold their hearings early and not wait until the eighth week of school, because if insufficiencies exist, a school district will have very little time to take corrective action.

Upcoming Workshops and Conferences

Governor's Budget Workshop January 2017

The State Budget is a document of policy, priorities, and competition for resources. The nextopportunity for the Governor to show his continued commitment to full implementation of theLocal Control Funding Formula (LCFF) will be the Governor’s 2017-18 Budget Proposal. Weexpect that the Administration will provide its economic forecast and financial plan for the state onJanuary 10, 2017. The release of the Governor’s Budget Proposal for 2017-18 begins the processfor legislative consideration of the Budget, but it also provides critical information for developmentof school agency budgets.

Unraveling the Mystery of School Finance Workshop September 2016

Never before have educational leaders in California been provided such an opportunity to leverageour state funding for the programs and services that we value the most at the local level. As ourbase funding recovers from the Great Recession, we are able to restore structures and servicesnecessary to support our classrooms. In addition, most of the categorical programs of the past havebeen combined into supplemental/concentration grants that can have broad application to supportour chil-dren with the greatest needs. And, after several years of significant fund-ing increases,today’s decisions are even more critical as revenues flatten and resources for ongoing programsbecome more scarce.

Conquering Budgets: Tips and Tricks for Success in School Finance September 2016

With the major reforms to school funding, the connection of the budget to the Local Control andAccountability Plan (LCAP), and major changes in how we look at separate funding streams,grappling with the school district and charter school budgets is more challenging than ever forbusiness administrators—and the entire management team.
