Second Principal Apportionment Deferral Update, Fiscal Year 2024–25
Dear School Business Professionals,
We have been asked to forward the following information regarding the Certification of the Second Principal Apportionment for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
Important UPDATED Deferral Information: Due to the large EPA revenue increase at quarter four and the commensurate reduction in LCFF state aid, CDE has deferred the full P-2 payment from June 2025 to July 2025. County treasurers are estimated to receive warrants for the 2024–25 P-2 Apportionment on July 18, 2025. The total deferral amount listed by LEA is located on the attached Monthly Payment Schedule. Additional information can also be found below. EPA: The 4th Quarter EPA payment will be distributed in June as further detailed below. See attached EPA Payment Schedule.
Please review the impact of the deferral and EPA apportionment on your district’s cash flow for June and July.
We recommend LEAs consult with their external auditors to confirm the accounting method for the 2024-25 apportionment deferral.
Please contact your District Financial Advisor with any questions.
