The funds appropriated under IMFRP are to be allocated based on the prior year K–12
enrollment as reported by the California Basic Educational Data System (CBEDS)
count.
The IMFRP (EC Chapter 3.25, sections 60420—60424) provides that:
1. Districts or county offices of education must use funds to ensure that each pupil,
grades K–12, is provided with a standards-aligned textbook or basic instructional
materials.
For grades K–8, the standards-aligned instructional materials must come from the
state standards-aligned adoption lists for reading/language arts, mathematics,
science, and history–social science.
For grades 9–12, the materials must be adopted by the local governing board and
aligned to the state academic content standards.
2. Once a local governing board certifies that it has provided each pupil with
standards-aligned instructional materials, the district or county office of education
may use 100 percent of any remaining IMFRP funds to purchase other
instructional materials consistent with the content and cycles of the curriculum
frameworks.
• For grades K–8 the local educational agency may purchase instructional
materials from other state-adopted materials lists.
• For grades 9–12 the local educational agency may purchase instructional
materials adopted by the local governing board in any other subject area
covered by a state curriculum framework.
3. The local governing board is required to hold an annual public hearing (pursuant
to EC Section 60119) and make a determination by resolution as to whether each
pupil in the district has sufficient instructional materials in reading/language arts,
mathematics, science, and history–social science that are consistent with the
content and cycles of the curriculum frameworks. This hearing is required in any
year in which the statewide base revenue limit increases by at least one percent.
Governing boards are also required to make written determination as to whether
pupils enrolled in foreign language or health courses have sufficient instructional
materials and whether there is sufficient science laboratory equipment for grades
9–12 science laboratory classes. The findings regarding foreign language, health,
and science equipment are not a condition of receipt of funds.
If the governing board determines there are insufficient instructional materials, the
board must take the following actions:
• Provide information on the reasons for insufficient materials.
• Take measures to ensure that each pupil will have sufficient materials within a
two-year period by the second month of the academic year.
