Administrators presented the district’s draft Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and walked the board through revenue assumptions, enrollment sensitivity and a multi‑year projection that shows a projected draw on reserves under current assumptions.
Lede and context: The administration said the district is drafting the LCAP and federal addendum while building next year’s budget assumptions. The business presenter noted projected total revenue figures discussed during the meeting and said the business office had excluded certain non‑student services from operational totals to clarify program alignment.
Highlights and numbers: The presenter said the district finished the year with a final average enrollment of about 3,228 students and reported higher attendance compared with the prior year. On sensitivity, staff noted that a 1 percentage‑point change in average daily attendance (ADA) equates to roughly $580,000 in LCFF funding. Under the assumptions shown to the board — including projecting enrollment near the cap of 3,200 and applying current COLA assumptions — the administration presented a projection of approximately a $3.97 million decrease in reserves for the coming year and described steps to stabilize the budget.
Grant awards: The administration told the board it had just been awarded two grants: a nonprofit security grant for $247,000 and a state kitchen infrastructure award for $82,000 to improve nutrition services.
Why it matters: The budget assumptions will feed the June 30 adopted budget deadline; staff emphasized that governor and legislative changes to the state budget could alter final numbers before adoption. The board discussed staffing assumptions, pension contribution increases, and one‑time grants that supported recent years but will not be ongoing.
Next steps: Staff said they'll finalize the assumptions with any legislative updates and return with a budget for adoption next month. The board asked for continued detail on staffing and contingency plans if state assumptions change.
