State Funding for Textbooks
AB 1781 established the Instructional Materials
Funding Realignment Program (IMFRP) that, starting with the 2002-03 fiscal year,
took the place of three previous funding sources for instructional materials.
Funds are allocated based on the district's prior year K-12 enrollment as
reported by the California Basic Educational Data System (CBEDS).
- State Board of Education regulations adopted
to implement the IMFRP program are provided in this Quick Summary:
- Use IMFRP funds to provide each pupil with
adopted standards-aligned textbooks or basic instructional materials in
reading/language arts, mathematics, science and history-social science. This
must be done within 24 months of any new adoptions in these subject areas.
- When all pupils have standards-aligned
instructional materials in the four subjects listed above, the governing board
certifies that this has been accomplished.
- The district may then use IMFRP funds to
purchase other adopted materials, such as foreign language, health, and visual
and performing arts.
- The district governing board holds its annual
hearing and adopts a Resolution on Sufficiency of Instructional Materials by
the end of September.
- After the district has met all of the above
requirements, then 100 percent of any remaining annual allocation for IMFRP
may be spent for other purposes as stated in Education Code Section 60242(a).
