COMMENTS:
1)Purpose. According to the author, this bill is intended to
provide additional financial detail and transparency with
respect to supplemental funding to public education from the
California State Lottery.
2)Current Lottery Education Fund Reports. Each school district
and county superintendent of schools is required to establish
a separate account for the receipt and expenditure of lottery
funds. Once a quarter, the lottery sends educational
supplement funds to the Controller, who distributes to county
treasurers, who in turn distribute to school districts and
county offices of education. The Commission publishes on its
website a report compiled from information provided by the
Controller summarizing education disbursements by county,
reflecting all districts that have ever received funds from
the lottery.
