How are Lottery funds disbursed to the schools?
The Lottery’s mandate, as defined in the California State Lottery Act, is to provide supplemental funding to California public education on all levels from kindergarten through higher education plus several specialized schools. All segments of the public schools receive the same per pupil funding level from the Lottery based on average daily attendance of students in each school district. Since 1984, the Lottery provided more than $23 billion to students in California’s public schools. The educational institutions which receive Lottery funds and the percent of overall Lottery funds which each segment receives are listed below.
