Summary: School agencies are required to perform Gann Limit calculations by the State Constitution. It is important that school agencies do these calculations to identify how much state aid counts toward the agency's Gann Limit, so that the state of California knows how much state aid counts toward its own Gann Limit.

The Gann Limit calculation is designed to limit the growth in government spending. This limit on government spending, which became known as Gann Appropriation Limits or simply Gann Limits, applies not only to the state of California, but also to cities, counties, and special districts, as well as to school districts and county offices of education (ref. Article XII B of the State Constitution). A school agency's Gann Limit is increased for both inflation and population. Inflation for these purposes is currently the annual percentage change in California per capita personal income. And for school agencies, change in ADA is used as a measurement of the change in population.
