Benny presented the First Interim Budget.  The 10% cut which was anticipated was not made so there is an increase in revenues of $359K.  There was an increase in expenditures of $279K.  It is anticipated that there will be more money available for education spending next year.

Benny presented the LCFF Budget Overview for Parents.  SB 98 established that the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and an annual update to the LCAP are not required for the 2020–21 school year. However, SB 98 still requires that the Budget Overview for Parents be developed and adopted by December 15, 2020.  Board approval for the attached is requested.

Mary presented revisions to the VCS Uniform Complaint Policy as recommended by VCS Counsel.

Mary stated that when she submitted the VCS Parent Handbook to our Charter School Attorneys over the summer, they recommended that there were a number of policies we needed to add/make more robust.  The Student Freedom of Speech and Expression Policy, Campus Search and Seizure Policy and Administration of Medication Policy are three of those policies.
