25-26 Budget and LCAP Timeline

• Management team alongside ExEd have begun initial drafts of the 25-26 SY Budget
• Projections are based on the states preliminary budget; May 14 the revised state budget will be published, with some additional changes possible before final approval on June 15. 
• Currently seeing cuts in revenue from both the state and federal (683k)
  • Increase costs in Salary/Benefits
  • Lower Budgeted Enrollment due to Enrollment Cap
• Management is currently working on identifying essential vs non-essential expenses, securing grants, finalize plans on reimbursement programs for SPED costs, further tightening our school practices as they relate to attendance to increase ADA%
• Our goal is to bring a balance budget to the board for approval in our June board meeting. 
• Alongside the creation of our budget, we are working on the LCAP and will also be presenting this in our June board meeting.

• Enrollment is currently 3 students below the budgeted level, while Average Daily Attendance (ADA) is exceeding projections by 10.86, resulting in a notable increase in LCFF revenue. Most of this increase is attributed to a higher In-Lieu of Property Tax rate. 
• The forecast includes a significant amount of restricted one-time funding, with a portion still available to be used through fiscal year 2027–28. These remaining funds are primarily from Educator Effectiveness and Learning Recovery Block Grant programs. 
• Net income is currently projected to be positive, and the year-end cash balance is also expected to be strong.
