Fiscal Tools
The Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) Calculator for county offices has been produced based on information currently available to FCMAT and our colleagues in the California Department of Education.
The LCFF Announcement for County Offices email list is FCMAT's primary communication tool for sharing information about updates or other material revisions to the county office LCFF Calculator.
FCMAT's online help desk is intended to provide users with direct support for questions pertaining to the Local Control Funding Formula county office calculations and the county office LCFF Calculator. For school district and charter school calculations, please visit the Local Control Funding Formula Resources for School Districts and Charter Schools page.
Links to the CDE's Principal Apportionment and Special Education certified data exhibits and other resources are offered to give users convenient access to the supporting certified data. Users should independently verify prepopulated data in the county office LCFF Calculator from the Principal Apportionment section certified data exhibits. If any inconsistencies are noted, please report them directly to FCMAT using our help desk.
FCMAT extends great appreciation to each member of the county office LCFF Calculator development team for their contributions and commitment to ensuring the quality of this tool. Further appreciation is extended to the administration and the staff of the California Department of Education for their continued support and collaborative partnership in developing the LCFF Calculator for county offices.
