Orange County
Over $560,000,000 of Orange County property taxes allocated to education are taken to fund State obligations each year.
This includes the entire county-wide Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (which supplements the county’s low-wealth districts), plus $80 million a year of property tax directly allocated to specific school districts and $12 million directly allocated to community college districts.
In common with most counties, the burden of providing this property tax – then dealing with its deferred repayment – tends to fall hardest on districts with a high proportion of at-risk students. Santa Ana, Garden Grove, Anaheim High, and Magnolia Elementary each had over 20% of their 2011-12 revenue come in after the last child had left for the summer.
