Section 15473 - Fund and Cash Balances
(a) Budgeted beginning unrestricted county school service fund balance has not been overestimated for two out of three prior fiscal years by more than the following percentage levels:

1.7% for counties with total expenditures and other financing uses of less than $7,073,000.

1.3% for counties with total expenditures and other financing uses of $7,073,000 through $17,684,999.

1.0% for counties with total expenditures and other financing uses of $17,685,000 through $79,581,000.

0.7% for counties with total expenditures and other financing uses of over $79,581,000.

(b) For purposes of this section, the following shall apply:
(1) A county office of education that serves as the AU of a SELPA may exclude from its expenditures the distribution of funds to its participating members.
(2) Percentage levels equate to a rate of deficit spending which would eliminate recommended reserves for economic uncertainties over a three year period.
(3) The dollar amounts are to be adjusted annually by the prior year statutory cost-of-living adjustment calculated pursuant to Education Code section 2574, rounded to the nearest thousand.
(c) Projected county school service fund cash balance will be positive at the end of the current fiscal year.
