Bear Valley Unified board adopts 2025–26 LCAP and corrected budget

The Bear Valley Unified School District governing board voted to adopt the district’s 2025–26 Local Control and Accountability Plan and approved the 2025–26 budget with a correction to a duplicated funding line.

Board members approved item 14a, the 2025–26 LCAP and associated “budget overview for parents.” They then considered item 14b, the district budget for 2025–26; staff explained a correction removing a funding source that had been listed twice on the budget comparison screen. According to staff, the duplicated entry was the CCSTP grant; removing the duplicate did not change the bottom-line totals. The board approved the budget as amended.

The correction was described publicly during the budget discussion when a board member asked what the change was. District staff said the CCSTP grant had been listed twice in the budget-comparison slide and that the unrestricted balance was missing from a displayed screen, but that there were no changes to the bottom line.

The board approved the LCAP and the amended budget during the meeting; the vote was recorded as in favor. The motions, seconds and individual roll-call tallies were not specified on the public record excerpt.

The actions complete a routine annual cycle of reporting priorities (LCAP) and adopting the operating budget for the coming school year. Board members asked staff to present additional material and follow-up in future meetings and workshops.
