The District has consistently exceeded the State Required FON. The 2021-22 State budget provided funding to hire 30 full-time faculty in 2022-23. Thus, the FTEF increased in Fall 2022. In Fall 2024, the State applied a 8.74% revenue deficit factor based on the 2023-24 apportionment calculation in April 2024. This reduced the District s required FON by 24 from 373.9 to 349.9. The FON calculation will be updated and revised at the 2023-24 recalculation apportionment cycle in February 2025 reflecting any deficit factor in effect at that time. In Fall 2024, the District exceeds the required FON by 65.3 FTEF (18.7%). 2
