*According to CDE (2013d), flexibility applies to 38 categorical programs, unrestricted and up to the discretion of the individual LEA—which “ may use the funds to provide services under the pre-flexed programs or for other education purposes or programs” (“ Funding Profile 2226,” para. 1).
** Also according to CDE (2013d), eligibility for funding means the following: “ All entities that received funding in the 2007-08 or 2008-09 base year for programs that are now flexible are eligible for funding” (“ Funding Profile 2226,” para. 2). The total available for these is $2, 536, 055, 000.
According to SSC (2013), Tier programs are allocated funding and flexibility accordingly:

Tier I–Programs for which funding remains at 2008-09 original Budget enacted level for 2008-09 and 2009-10

– No cuts, no additional flexibility;

Tier II–Programs for which funding is reduced in 2008-09 and 2009-10

– Funding reductions, no additional flexibility
Tier III–Programs for which funding is reduced in 2008-09 and 2009-10, but flexibility to transfer funding to other education purposes is allowed
– Funding reductions, flexibility to transfer up to 100% to another purpose (“ State Categorical Flexibility,” para. 9).
***According to authors for the Los Angeles Unified School District Budget Services and Financial Planning Division (2014), “ the LCFF includes several variables to calculate an LEA’s entitlement; these are ADA, enrollment, unduplicated student count, COLA, and gap funding percentage” (p. 129).
