In November 1979, Proposition 4 was adopted which “established constitutional limits on the allowable growth in state and local government spending. These appropriations limits, popularly called Gann limits, allow government spending to grow at a rate no faster than inflation and the change in population.” (reference: 1993 Edition of Revenues and Limit, a Guide to School Finance in California by Paul Goldfinger, School Services of California, Inc.)
Education Code sections 1629 and 42132 specify that governing boards of school districts and county offices shall adopt a resolution to calculate the actual appropriations from the prior fiscal year and estimate the appropriation for the current fiscal year. |
