The Board of Education approved the district's 2023–24 second interim financial report after an extended presentation by Assistant Superintendent Miss Wallace and follow-up board discussion.
Miss Wallace summarized the district's multi-year projection and funding assumptions and said the district was "certifying positive," explaining that "positive certification indicates that the district will be able to meet its Financial Obligations for the current and the two subsequent fiscal years." She walked trustees through projected enrollment declines (a loss of about 190 students from 2022–23 to 2023–24 and projected further declines of roughly 150 for 2024–25 and about 135 for 2025–26) and the resulting estimated reduction in LCFF revenue of roughly $3 million across the two out‑years.
The presentation detailed changes to revenue and expenditures: a modest LCFF entitlement decrease (noted as about $83,000), a small increase in federal revenue, an increase in certificated and classified salaries tied to a wage classification study (classified salaries budgeted up about $830,000), and a reallocation of planned capital outlay tied to ESSER restrictions. The assistant superintendent also explained that funded ADA and the district's unduplicated pupil percentage affect categorical grant eligibility and that state budget revisions in May (the May Revision) could alter final figures.
Trustees discussed the implications of declining enrollment on future budgets and programs, including the potential need for staff and program adjustments if revenue shortfalls persist. A board member emphasized that the projected loss of $3 million "is a significant amount of money" and urged that staff bring recommendations for how to manage reductions while protecting classroom priorities.
After discussion the board voted to approve the second interim report. The motion was made and seconded on the floor; the board recorded the item as approved and the district maintained its required minimum reserves in the multi‑year projection. The report will be submitted to the county and the California Department of Education as required.
The board also handled the consent agenda and adjourned at 9:29 p.m.
