What if my district trains a greater number of teachers than its funding cap? Will the district have to absorb the entire cost?
LEAs may receive funding for teachers trained in excess of their cap. If funding remains at the end of the fiscal year, the CDE will redirect the balance to LEAs who have trained teachers beyond their funding cap. If the funds available for redirection are insufficient to fully fund all claims over the cap, then CDE will prorate funds among claims received by the deadline. Any remaining shortfall will be granted first priority for funding in the next fiscal year. If a funding shortfall still exists after the redirection process, and the next year’s Budget Act does not contain an appropriation for this program, then LEAs would absorb the shortfall for teachers trained in excess of the cap.
