The areas of focus include ADM and our three main funds, M capital, and classroom site fund. The state funding formula is based on ADM. Our actual ADM grew by 362, just seven short of our projections. ADM receives two sets of multipliers known as group A and group B weights. Our total weighted student count is 100 above our projection. This will result in additional budget capacity in several areas of the funding formula.

The bottom graph shows our year-over-year growth. We grew by 362 ADM or 4.1%. For M, we have slight increases in carry forward Prop 123 and the RCL to DAA transfer. That's our M that's transferred to the capital funding formula. For the more significant changes, the one-time FRPL or poverty weight was rolled into the RCL for the adoption. Originally, the uh the poverty weights were supposed to be increased within the group B formula, which would make those increases ongoing. But after we proposed our budget, the legislature moved the move that part of the budget for the FRPPL to a one-time add-on of about 200 $285,000. The revenue control limit and the M override both have significant increases due to the increase in our weighted students. Overall, our general budget limit of M is 1.2 million over the adopted limit for the capital budget. the one time DAA um was rolled into the DAA allocation for adoption.
