In this unprecedented public health crisis, 2021–22 is expected to be another very challenging year for school administration and finance staff. The May Revision Workshop will incorporate the results of revised revenue estimates, revise the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) provisions for 2021–22 and the out-year estimates for LCFF funding for multiyear projections, provide the latest on funding and policy proposals outside the LCFF, and incorporate any revisions to the accountability system.

While the May Revision is a statutorily required action by the Administration every year, this year it is an opportunity for Governor Gavin Newsom to recast his January State Budget proposals and present new proposals in view of a revised revenue outlook, legislative budget hearings, and stakeholder feedback. This year is like no other, impacting every aspect of our lives and the lives of students and families across our state and the nation-the pandemic, the economy, state revenues for education, COVID-19 prevention plans, and learning loss mitigation plans, just to name a few.
