a Includes $50 million each year for the Quality Rating and Improvement System. Does not include wrap care provided by non-local education agencies. In 2017-18, the state provided $168 million for this purpose.
In each of these three years, Partnership Academies also received between $8 million and $9 million from the Career Pathways Program (administered by the California Community Colleges in 2016-17 and the California Department of Education in 2017-18 and 2018-19).
c The State created the Collaborative in 2013-14. To date, the state has provided a total of $34 million one time ($10 million in 2013-14 funds and $24 million in 2015-16 funds) to support the Collaborative and its work with low-performing districts. The bulk of this one-time funding has been for targeted professional development and pilot support programs.
d The 2016-17 and 2017-18 amounts include one-time funding for Career Technical Education Incentive Grants for Secondary Schools. The 2017-18 amount also includes $25 million one time to support paraprofessionals interested in becoming teachers. Additionally, the 2017-18 amount includes the Governor's January budget proposals to provide $50 million one time to establish a special education teacher residency program and $50 million one time to develop local solutions to special education teacher shortages. All years include various smaller one-time initiatives as well as programs that receive less than $4 million in ongoing funding.
