File Attachment:
DOC 9-14-15 Resolution 1516 4 GANN Appropriations Limit Calc.pdf
Summary: The Gann Limit is intended to constrain the growth in state and local government spending by linking year-to-year changes in expenditures to changes in inflation. Established in 1979 following the enactment of Proposition 13 and subsequently amended by Proposition 111, the Gann Limit has become a largely pro forma calculation that no longer constrains governmental expenditures.

Current law (Education Code section 42132) requires that the governing board of each school district adopt a resolution to identify the appropriations limit for the district for the preceding fiscal year. School agencies complete these calculations to identify how much state aid counts toward the local agency's Gann Limit, so that the state of California knows how much state aid counts toward its own Gann Limit. Mt. Diablo Unified is within our limit.
Funding: N/A
Fiscal Impact None.
