Proposition 98 spending that year, however, has increased $53 million due to various minoradjustments involving the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and community college apportionments.The2016‐17minimumguaranteehasdecreased$558million,againduetolowerestimatesofGeneralFundrevenue. Proposition 98 spending that year has decreased by $484million, but total spending, including asettle‐uppaymentof$514million,isupslightly($29million)fromtheJune2016level.Thesettle‐uppaymentallows the state to cover some 2016‐17 LCFF costs using funds set aside for Proposition 2 (2014) debtpayments. In both 2015‐16 and 2016‐17, Proposition 98 spending is above the calculated minimumguarantees.2017‐18SpendingUp$3.1BillionOverRevised2016‐17LevelIn2017‐18,totalspendingacrossallsegmentsis$74.5billion,anincreaseof$3.1billion(4.4percent)fromthe revised 2016‐17 level. For 2017‐18, the state funds at the estimate of the minimum guarantee. Thisestimate builds upon the higher levels of spending provided in 2015‐16 and 2016‐17.

3. Revenues‐ExchangeandNon‐ExchangeTransactionsRevenue resulting from exchange transactions, in which each party gives and receives essentiallyequalvalue,isrecordedontheaccrualbasiswhentheexchangetakesplace. Onamodifiedaccrualbasis, revenue is recorded in the fiscal year in which the resources are measurable and becomeavailable. Available means that the resources will be collected within the current fiscal year.Generally, available is defined as collectiblewithin 60days. However, to achieve comparability ofreportingamongCaliforniadistrictsandsoasnot todistortnormalrevenuepatterns,withspecificrespect to reimbursement grants and corrections to state‐aid apportionments, the CaliforniaDepartment of Education has defined available for districts as collectible within one year. Thefollowing revenue sources are considered to be bothmeasurable and available at fiscal year‐end:Stateapportionments,interest,certaingrants,andotherlocalsources.Non‐exchangetransactions,inwhichtheDistrictreceivesvaluewithoutdirectlygivingequalvalueinreturn, includepropertytaxes,certaingrants,entitlements,anddonations.

4. UnearnedRevenueUnearned revenue arises when potential revenue does not meet both the "measurable" and"available" criteria for recognition in the current period or when resources are received by theDistrict prior to the incurrence of qualifying expenditures. In subsequent periods, when bothrevenue recognition criteria are met, or when the District has a legal claim to the resources, theliability for unearned revenue is removed from the combined balance sheet and revenue isrecognized.Certaingrantsreceivedthathavenotmeteligibilityrequirementsarerecordedasunearnedrevenue.On the governmental fund financial statements, receivables that will not be collected within theavailableperiodarealsorecordedasunearnedrevenue.
