School district funding is divided into three categories: Basic grants given for all students, with different levels based on grade span; supplemental grants for students in poverty, English learners and foster children, called high - needs students; concentration grants for school districts with more than 55 percent of high - needs students.

Burr said that the temporary regulations gave schools a good balance between flexibility for spending the supplemental and concentration grants provided by the LCFF and accountability to the community for those choices. (k-12daily.org)
