California's Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) requires each school district to maintain a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) that is updated annually with input from parents, students, teachers, staff, and community members. State law mandates at least one public hearing before the LCAP is adopted, and the Board is asked to conduct that required public hearing this evening per Education Code §52062. The LCAP will be formally adopted at the subsequent Board meeting, concurrent with adoption of the 2026–27 budget. |
The proposed 2026–27 All Funds Budget has been developed using the Governor's May Revision, guidance from the Orange County Department of Education, and local revenue projections. It complies with AB 1200 accountability requirements and reflects the District's continued status as a community-funded district. The District is projecting an unassigned ending fund balance of $1,407,853 above the required reserve, intended to sustain programs, cover cash flow needs, support students, and maintain the District's credit rating. A Budget Overview for Parents accompanies the budget documents, and both are available for public inspection at the Administrative Services Office. The Board is asked to conduct the required public hearing on the 2026–27 Budget per Education Code §52062(b)(2), with formal adoption scheduled for the June 16, 2026 Board meeting. |
