Assembly Bill 1808 added California Education Code (EC) Section 52064.1, which requires that County Offices of Education (COEs), school districts, and charter schools (LEAs) develop the Local Control Funding Formula Budget Overview for Parents in conjunction with the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP).

For the 2020-21 school year, school districts must work with parents, educators, students, and the community to develop a Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan (Learning Continuity Plan). The Learning Continuity Plan replaces the LCAP for the 2020–21 school year and provides school districts with the opportunity to describe how they are planning to provide a high-quality education, social-emotional supports, and nutrition to their students during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

In September 2020, Senate Bill 820 required an update to the Budget Overview for Parents template to reflect alignment with 2021 Learning Continuity Plan and 2019-20 LCAP increased or improved expenditures.

EC Section 43509 requires that the governing board adopt the Budget Overview for Parents with the first interim report by December 15, 2020.

The First Interim report reflects the financial activity of the District for the period of July 1, 2020, through October 31, 2020.

The Governing Board of a school district is required to certify, at the First Interim report, that the District is able to meet its financial obligations for the remainder of the fiscal year and the next two fiscal years. The certification shall be based upon the Board's assessment of the District's probable cash within the County Treasury and the District’s unrestricted fund balances that will be available for meeting obligations.

The District’s current “positive” budget certification is dependent upon many assumptions. It is currently projected that K-12 education will be funded at zero COLA (inflation) through the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). Current economic projections will change in response to the timing of recovery from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Future growth in State LCFF revenue is needed to cover increases in staffing costs for annual employee increases and continuing increases in pension costs (STRS/PERS).

In January, the Governor will release the proposed State budget for 2021-22 and any recommendations for changing the current State budget for 2020-21. While actual State revenues are outpacing earlier projections, the State budget specifics are unknown at this time and are speculative how this will impact school districts. There are many competing priorities for increased State funding including addressing the impacts from the pandemic and funding a COLA and growth across other State programs.

Planning for these potential changes will continue throughout the remainder of this fiscal year. The next budget submission will be the Second Interim report for the period ending December 31, 2020, presented in March 2021.

Additional attachments(s) will be provided closer to the meeting date.
