The Challenge: Maximizing LCFF Revenue

California's Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) provides critical funding based on your Unduplicated Pupil Percentage (UPP). Missing the 55% concentration grant threshold can cost a district millions in lost revenue.

The 55% Threshold

Districts hovering between 50-60% UPP are at critical risk. Falling below 55% means losing the 50% concentration grant bonus, a potential loss of over $1,000 per student.

Incomplete Data

Many districts fail to maximize revenue because they don't collect complete data on student eligibility, including free/reduced lunch applications and English learner status.

Declining UPP

Districts with flat or declining Unduplicated Pupil Percentage (UPP) over 3+ years are leaving significant state funding on the table that could be captured.
