As a governmental unit, The College leverages the bond funds with State capital construction program funds to implement new and renovation construction projects. The District's primary funding source is the "State Apportionment Funding" received from the State of California through the State Chancellor's Office. This funding represents 90 percent of the total revenue in the District's financing activities operating fund. The Apportionment consists of three primary components: State apportionment, local property taxes, and choices are bound by Federal student enrollment fees, which were $46 per unit in the year ended June 30, 2015. The primary basis of this apportionment is the calculation of FTES. In October 2015, a revised CCFS-320 Apportionment Attendance Report was submitted to the Chancellor's Office. The total apportionment eligible FTES reported was 19,629 for the fiscal year 2014-2015. The Chancellor's Office calculates the Base Revenue three times each year and State restrictionsretroactively for one fiscal year. Each district does not know the final recalculation until as late as the First Principal Apportionment (P1), which is usually released in February following the end of the fiscal year.
