  A. LCFF Budget Overview for Parents Vote Slav Sobkov
   
California Education Code (EC) Section 52064.1 requires each school district, county office of education (COE), and charter school (LEA) to develop the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) Budget Overview for Parents in conjunction with the LCAP by July 1 of each year.Senate Bill (SB) 98 added EC Section 43509, which changed the adoption date for the Budget Overview for Parents for the 2020–21 school year.For 2020–21, local governing boards or governing bodies are required to adopt and submit the Budget Overview for Parents on or before December 15, 2020, in conjunction with the LEA’s first interim budget report.
 
  B. First Interim Report Vote Slav Sobkov
   
SB 98 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. As such, it is recommended that school districts and COEs present their 2020–21 Budget Overview for Parents to their local governing board for adoption at the same public meeting at which the First Interim Report is approved. • Similarly, it is recommended that charter schools prepare and submit their 2020–21 Budget Overview for Parents with the LEA’s First Interim Report using the process applicable to the charter school.
