consideration in other education areas, even though these other areas may be of higher priority in any given fiscal year.
We believe that the Legislature should have the flexibility to use child care carryover funds for purposes aligned to its full range of education priorities. If
carryover funds were treated like all other K-12 Proposition 98 expenditures, unspent child development allocations would be available for the Legislature to
direct to any of its K-14 education priorities. The funds then would have to be appropriated in the budget or in another bill, thereby giving the Legislature an
opportunity to determine the best use of the monies. Depending on the Legislature's assessment of education needs in any given year this might include child
development or it might not.
In order to restore to itself full budgeting flexibility, we recommend that the Legislature eliminate the statutory authority permitting SDE to carry over unspent
General Fund child care funds.
Other Issues 
Child Care Data Collection 
We recommend that the State Department of Education (SDE) report to the Legislature prior to budget hearings on its progress in developing a child care
data collection and analysis system, including a time line for completing the feasibility study report authorized by the Legislature in the 1997-98 Budget
Act. We further recommend that SDE explain why the state is not in compliance with federal reporting requirements and what steps the department is
taking to come into compliance. 
The state currently has little systematic data on key aspects of the state-subsidized child care system, including data on the extent of unmet need for child care
by eligible low-income families. The Legislature, recognizing its need for better data on which to base policy and budgeting decisions, provided $22 million in
one-time federal funds in the 1997-98 Budget Act for SDE to develop a child care data collection and analysis system. Of this amount, $2 million was for a
feasibility study report for this system. The remaining $20 million was for other costs of implementing the system, and for interim data collection and reporting
while the data collection and analysis system was being developed.
The department has made very little progress on the development of this system. Most of the funds provided for data collection in the 1997-98 Budget Act have

2001 Budget Analysis: Child Care and Development
Despite SDE's efforts to collect data for the federal government, the state has failed to provide reports required for the past two
years. This could jeopardize up to $12 million in federal funds for child care in California because the federal Department of Health and Human Services can
withhold 4 percent of California's federal Child Care and Development Fund monies if all reporting requirements are not met. According to SDE, the federal
government has waived this withholding of state funds for the time being, but it is unclear how long that waiver may last.
Given the importance of acquiring adequate data upon which to base policy and budgeting decisions for the $2.1 billion annual child care program, and the
years that have passed since the Legislature first appropriated funds for the data system, we recommend that the department report prior to budget hearings on
its progress in developing the system. This report should include the department's time line for completing the feasibility study report. We further recommend
that the department explain why the state is not in compliance with federal reporting requirements and what steps the department is taking to come into
compliance soon.
Kindergarten Readiness Pilot Program 
We recommend that the Legislature modify budget bill language relating to the evaluation of the Kindergarten Readiness Program, in order to conform to
current law requiring the State Superintendent of Public Instruction to contract for the evaluation. 
The 2001-02 Governor's Budget includes $13.4 million under Item 6110-189-0001 for the first-year implementation of the Kindergarten Readiness Pilot
Program established by Chapter 1022, Statutes of 2000 (AB 25, Mazzoni). The program is a voluntary project intended to test the effectiveness of raising the
kindergarten admission age and expanding resources for kindergarten readiness programs.
Chapter 1022 specifies that the State Superintendent of Public Instruction (SPI) shall, by June 1, 2002, contract for an independent longitudinal evaluation
regarding the effects of the change in the entry age for kindergarten. In the process of the evaluation, the SPI is required to consult with a state advisory group
comprised of representatives from the administration and the Legislature, including the LAO. However, the Governor's budget proposes $500,000 for the LAO,
not the SPI, to contract for the evaluation.
The 2024-25 Budget: Proposition 2 Debt Payment Proposals
Pension System Administers Pension Benefits for Teachers. CalSTRS is the world’s largest educator‑only pension system, administering the $315 billion Teachers’ Retirement Fund for more than 1 million members and beneficiaries (as of June 2023). CalSTRS’ 12‑member Teachers’ Retirement Board (CalSTRS Board) administers the fund and is constitutionally responsible for overseeing the system’s investment policies and ensuring that benefit payments are made on time and according to law. An important component of this responsibility is establishing the state’s and employers’ annual contribution rates, based on actuarial requirements. (CalSTRS Board’s contribution rate‑setting authority is limited by the law, which we describe in more detail in later paragraphs.) Similar to CalPERS, CalSTRS receives employee and employer contributions (along with contributions from the state) and relies on investment returns to fund pension benefits through its Defined Benefit Program. However, some elements of CalSTRS’ funding structure are distinct from CalPERS’, particularly related to unfunded liabilities, as described more in the subsequent paragraphs. 
Funding of Pension System Dictated by Funding Plan. Prior to 2014, contribution rates for CalSTRS’ Defined Benefit Program were set in statute and the CalSTRS Board had virtually no authority to adjust those rates. Accordingly, even as actuarially required contribution rates changed over the years in response to investment performance, shifts in the teacher and retiree population, and other changes, CalSTRS rates remained essentially static. By 2014, actuaries projected CalSTRS’ assets would be depleted within a few decades. The Legislature passed Chapter 46 of 2014 (AB 1469, Bonta), establishing a funding plan with the aim of reversing that projection and fully eliminating the Defined Benefit Program’s unfunded liabilities by 2046. 
State, School Districts, and Members Pay Base Rate… Under the funding plan, the state, employers, and members all pay annual base rates. The static base rates, which are calculated as percentages of annual creditable compensation, are set in statute and are approximately equivalent to the normal cost of benefits for the CalSTRS’ Defined Benefit Program. 
…And State and School Districts Share Responsibility for Unfunded Liabilities.
How Long Is One Day on Other Planets? | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
On Mercury a day lasts 1,408 hours, and on Venus it lasts 5,832 hours. On Earth and Mars it’s very similar. Earth takes 24 hours to complete one spin, and Mars takes 25 hours. The gas giants rotate really fast. Jupiter takes just 10 hours to complete one rotation. Saturn takes 11 hours, Uranus takes 17 hours, and Neptune takes 16 hours.
Reading that paragraph took a while, and it’s hard to find all the numbers. Let’s see how it looks if we put it in a table.

Option 2: A Table

Planet
Day Length

Mercury
1,408 hours

Venus
5,832 hours

Earth
24 hours

Mars
25 hours

Jupiter
10 hours

Saturn
11 hours

Uranus
17 hours

Neptune
16 hours

That’s a little bit better. We can look up and down at the numbers and can compare them more easily. But wouldn’t it be nice if we could see how big those differences are?
Let’s make a graph with these numbers!

Option 3: A Graph

To start, make a number line that starts at 0 and goes to the highest number you need to include. This first graph will only have Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune on it. We’ll save Mercury and Venus for later. You'll see why in a minute.
The longest day among those planets is 25 hours. That means our number line will go up to 25.

Label the number line so you remember it represents hours. And write what information the graph will have at the top.
Along the bottom, write the names of the planets.

Make a dot above the name of the planet next to the number of hours its day takes.
Our graph is coming together!
What do we do now? Color in the area below the dot to make a bar graph.

Now we can easily see which planet has the longest day, the shortest day, and everything in between.

2001 Budget Analysis: Special Education
remains. The range of funding levels between the highest- and lowest-funded SELPA is approximately $600 per ADA.
 Trails Revenue Limit Equalization. Special education funding is not as far along in the equalization process as general education revenue limits. For
example, about 90 percent of the ADA for large unified districts—which accounts for over two-thirds of the statewide ADA—is within 5 percent of the lowest
revenue limit per ADA. The Legislature has demonstrated its desire to coordinate special education and revenue limit funding by directing that both receive
the same COLA percentage. Under this option, the Legislature has the opportunity to make rapid progress in having special education equalization "catch
up" with revenue limits equalization.

Analyst's Recommendation. For all the above reasons, we recommend that the Legislature use the $98 million of released funds to continue equalization of
special education funding levels. Specifically, we recommend the enactment of trailer legislation bringing approximately 75 percent of the state's ADA to the
same special education funding level.

2001 Budget Analysis:California Spending on Long-Term Care Services
intake unit, and has provided an insufficient explanation for keeping staffing and funding for district offices that will see a workload decrease as a result of the
creation of the new centralized complaint unit. The DHS has asserted that redirection of existing staff resources would compromise other critical functions but
has not demonstrated how merely shifting the location of the DHS staff involved in complaint intake activities could create a problem.
Recent Enforcement Efforts Could Result in Fewer Complaints. According to DHS data, the number of complaints received by Licensing and Certification
district offices between 1997-98 and 1999-00 increased by 9 percent to about 13,000. Although the number of complaints has risen, recent enforcement efforts
could result in a future decline in the number of complaints received, especially if enforcement efforts are effective. These recent enforcement efforts include
increased penalties to nursing facilities for health and safety violations, increased unannounced site inspections, and the addition of Licensing and Certification
district office staff to conduct investigations of complaints.
Within two years, the effect of these new enforcement efforts on workload will be known and the Legislature can determine how many permanent positions are
needed to accomplish the goals required by statute. If the number of complaints drop as a result of these activities, some of the 22.5 new DHS positions
proposed in the budget may no longer be needed.
Analyst Recommendation. We have no concerns about the proposed $500,000 Medi-Cal reimbursement study. We withhold recommendation on the
$1.4 million requested in the budget for the new centralized complaint unit. While we agree that a higher level of service might result from the creation of the
new unit, the department has not justified the level of additional new resources requested given that existing staff in district offices are currently handling this
workload. For this reason, we recommend that DHS report to the Legislature regarding the funding and positions currently used for complaint intake in district
offices.
If the Legislature approves the department's request for an additional 22.5 new positions, we recommend that 10 of the positions be established as two-year
limited-term positions until the ongoing workload of this unit can be determined.
