  I. Finance Update Discuss Linda Wu 10 m
     
  J. LCPS Budget: 2023-24 and Multi-Year Projections Vote Linda Wu 10 m
     
  K. Local Control Accountability Plans for 2021-24 (Updated for 23-24 SY) Vote Megan Bacigalupi 10 m
     
  L. Education Protection Account (EPA) approvals Vote Linda Wu 3 m
   

California created the Education Protection Account (EPA) in November 2012 after the passage of Proposition 30, The Schools and Local Public Safety Protection Act of 2012. Proposition 30 temporarily increased the personal income tax rates for upper-income taxpayers and the sales tax rate for all taxpayers, and was extended by voters through 2030 via Proposition 55 in November 2016. 

 

Revenue generated from the increased taxes are deposited into the EPA and distributed to districts and charter schools on a quarterly basis. While funds from the EPA are part of a district’s or charter school’s general purpose funding, Proposition 30 specifies that EPA funds may not be used for administrative salaries or benefits or any other administrative costs.  Governing boards must determine the use of EPA funds at an open public meeting annually. Proposition 30 also requires all districts, counties and charter schools to report on their websites an accounting of how much money was received from the EPA and how that money was spent. For schools open prior to FY13/14, EPA funds are estimated to be roughly equal to 36% of a school's FY12/13 funding rate multiplied by the current year Average Daily Attendance. 

 

In June 2021, the LCPS Board of Directors approved the Education Protection Account resolution to follow these EPA reporting guidelines.  

 

CEO recommends approval of our EPA for our 3 LEAs for the following amounts:

  • Lighthouse K-8 - $1,461,725
  • Lighthouse 9-12 - $1,142,923
  • Lodestar K-12 - $126,000
