Gann Limit
What is the Gann limit?
California Proposition 4 (1979), also known as the Gann limit, was approved by voters with the goal of keeping state and local government spending, including school spending, capped at 1978–79 levels, adjusted for changes in population and inflation. For local educational agencies (LEAs), issues with the limit can occur if revenues from taxes (both local revenues and state aid) increase at a greater rate than average daily attendance (ADA) and inflation, or if there is a drop in ADA.
