School districts receive funding from different sources: state funds under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), other state funds, local funds, and federal funds.

In order to receive federal money from No Child Left Behind (NCLB), all districts in California must submit a LEA Plan approved by the State Board of Education. YPSA is a single school district.
