The Governor released his 2015-2016 Budget revisions on Thursday, May 14. AUSD staff attended the School Services of California budget workshop on Tuesday, May 19. The overall theme of the revised proposed State budget for 2015-2016 is good news for K-12 education.
The impact to AUSD will be in many areas.
1. The Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) is fully funded with additional revenues for a record year in education.
2. The Governor proposes adding $1.9b to the Prop 2 Rainy Day Fund.
3. The Governor proposes additional one-time funding for school districts equaling approximately $600 per average daily attendance rates.
4. School Services of California acknowledges future considerations in the multi-year planning.
The Governor’s presentation of the revised proposed State budget begins the negotiations at the State level. AUSD staff will be presenting the draft District 2015-2016 budget for public hearing and comment at the June 9th board meeting, followed by Board action at the June 23rd board meeting.
