The Alisal Union School District board on June 24 approved the district’s proposed 2026–27 budget, the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) for 2024–27, and several related business resolutions in a series of unanimous 4–0 votes with one trustee absent.
Trustee Vatrice Perez moved approval of the agenda items and the motions were seconded by fellow trustees; staff explained that interfund borrowing authorized under Resolution 2526-22 must be repaid within the 2026–27 school year. "Within the same school year," staff said when asked how long borrowed funds must be paid back.
The board also approved a package of business items including a local reserve cap (Resolution 2526-24), year-end budget transfers (Resolution 2526-23) and the designation of Education Protection Account funds (Resolution 2526-21). Board members voted to adopt school site plans for all 12 campuses and to adopt community schools implementation plans as part of the LCAP process.
Why it matters: adoption of the budget and LCAP formalizes resource priorities and the district’s accountability narrative ahead of the 2026–27 school year. Staff emphasized local-indicator narratives and evidence will be posted with the state dashboard to explain the district’s self-ratings.
Board procedure and vote: motions were made and seconded on the record; across the motion blocks recorded in open session votes were 4–0 with one absent.
Next steps: staff will post the LCAP narratives and supporting evidence tied to local indicators; the district’s quantitative state dashboard release was noted for a future date.
