Item Title:LCFF Budget Overview for AUSD Families and Community Members (10 Min/Action)
Item Type:Action
Background:

California Education Code (EC) Section 52064.1 requires each school district to develop the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) Budget Overview for Parents (BOP) in conjunction with the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) by July 1 of each year.

SB98, the budget trailer bill, waived the requirement to adopt an LCAP for the 2020-21 and changed the adoption date for the BOP for the 2020–21 school year. Local governing boards are now required to adopt and submit the BOP on or before December 15, 2020, in conjunction with the LEA’s first interim budget report.

The template for the Budget Overview for  Parents is required to contain the following information:
1. The total projected general fund revenue for the current school year as of the date of the first interim report, with the funds broken out as follows:
a. The LCFF revenue
b. The LCFF supplemental and concentration grants
c. All other state funds
d. All local funds
e. All federal funds
f. Federal CARES funds 

2. The totals for the 2020–21 School Year for the following:
a. Budgeted General Fund Expenditures
b. Budgeted Expenditures in the Learning Continuity Plan
c. Budgeted Expenditures for students identified for unduplicated services in the Learning Continuity Plan

3. Expenditures for Students who qualified for unduplicated services in the 2019–2020 School Year:
a. Budgeted Expenditures
b. Actual expenditures

 

SB98, further, decoupled the Budget Overview for Parents from the LCAP for 2020–21 and tied it to the First Interim report.  SB 820 requires the Budget Overview for Parents template to be aligned to the Learning Continuity Plan.  As such, the revenue and budgeted expenditures referenced in the 2020–21 Budget Overview for Parents are tied to the LEA’s First Interim report, its Learning Continuity Plan, and its 2019–2020 LCAP. 

AUSD LCAP Goals:1. Eliminate barriers to student success and maximize learning time.| 2a. Support all students in becoming college and career ready.| 2b. Support all English Learners (ELs) in becoming college and career ready.| 4. Ensure that all students have access to basic services.
