Item Title:2023-2024: Budget & LCAP Adoption Process: Budget Assumptions, Site Discretionary Funds, Categorical Programs, and Parcel Taxes (20 Mins/Information)
Item Type:Information
Background:

This presentation will cover proposed budget assumptions, site staffing allocations, site discretionary allocations, Categorical Programs, and local Parcel Taxes for 2023-2024 budget year.

 

Budget assumptions are used by the District to calculate the District’s revenue for the upcoming budget.  Some of these factors are provided by the State, such as cost of living adjustment or the pension rates, and some are projected by the District, such as enrollment and average daily attendance.  

 

Tonight's presentation will  discuss standard staffing allocations and discretionary allocations for school sites.  

 

Additionally, the presentation will cover various categorical funds that the District receives.  Federal and State Categorical Programs exist to serve the special needs of students that are not covered by general fund regular education programs. All categorical funding that schools receive will, in addition, be accounted for in their Single Plan for Student Achievement.

 

Finally, parcel taxes are an integral to the District and tonight’s presentation will provide detailed usage of parcel tax funds and their impact on the District’s overall budget.

 

Public Hearings on the Comprehensive Budget proposal and the LCAP are scheduled on June 13, 2023. The 2023-2024 Budget and LCAP will be presented to the Board for adoption on June 27, 2023.
