FINANCIAL SUMMARY (GENERAL FUND) (Page 1) On December 31, 2022, the reserve for economic uncertainties was $13.7 million, which is 4.5 percent of the working budget. In addition, the components of ending fund balance also include Nonspendable: revolving cash, stores inventory, and prepaid; Restricted: categorical; Committed: vacancy savings, school & department carryovers, NOC refresh, electric bus grant match, AB218 School Excess Liability, employee vacation liability, classification study impact, synthetic turf & track replacement, Deferred Maintenance contribution (23/24 and 24/25); classroom technology, school safety, mental health services (23/24), and budget reduction mitigation, and Assigned: budget flexibility. FINANCIAL SUMMARY (GENERAL FUND) – UNRESTRICTED ONLY (Page 2) This schedule shows the unrestricted portion of the budget. The schedule shows revenues in excess of expenditures of $2,757,431. PIE CHARTS (Pages 3-4) Revenue shows 65.0 percent of our total income is generated by the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), which is directly related to our average daily attendance (ADA). Any changes in ADA will directly impact the number of dollars we receive. Expenditures for salaries and benefits equate to 81.9 percent of total expenditures, minus other outgo for debt service payments, tuition, and indirect costs. INCOME (Page 1) Projected revenues through December 2022, amount to $333.5 million. Since the Adopted Budget, adjustments have been made to the Federal, State and Local revenues. The $47.8 million increase is comprised of the following: $2.4 million increase in program funds re-budgeted from prior year unspent balances, million decrease in pandemic funds, million decrease in Federal ESEA dollars, $10.2 million increase in LCFF adjustments, $.6 million increase in Career Technical Education, $10.2 million increase in Arts, Music & Instructional Materials Discretionary Block Grant, $22.3 million increase in Learning Recovery Emergency Block Grant, $3.7 million increase for electric bus Air Pollution Control Board Grant and Hybrid & Zero Emission Voucher Incentives, $1.6 million Fair Market Value Audit Adjustment, and million decrease in miscellaneous program balances. Refer to details on pages 5-9. EXPENDITURES (Page 1) The forecast through December 2022 is $305.4 million. It includes all known program changes and carryovers from 2021-22. Changes from the Adopted Budget include carryover balances re-budgeted from prior year unspent balances, projected adjustments from pandemic funds, classroom Chromebooks, school site allocation adjustments, position growth, deferred maintenance, mental health services, year-to-date trends, electric bus acquisition, and additional expenditures offset by new revenues. Refer to pages 10 and 11 for a more detailed analysis. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ACCOUNT (Page 12) Senate Bill 50, the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998, requires that school districts who accepted school construction funds under this Act must comply with the requirement to deposit and subsequently spend three percent of the total general fund adopted budget on maintenance on an annual basis for 20 years. Actual expenditures through December 31, 2022, amount to $3.8 million. AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE (ADA) (Page 13) The December financials reflect an adopted budget 2022-23 ADA of 15,605.14. Per the state funding model, the District’s regular ADA funding is based upon the greater of current year, prior year or 3-prior year average and thus projected to be funded on 15,907.55 which is based on the 2021-22 funded ADA. CASH FLOW (Page 14) The year-to-date ending cash balance amounts to $59.6 million. No short-term cash borrowing via TRANS is required this year. UTILITIES (Pages 15-16) The District has recorded a 4.8 percent year-to-date decrease in electrical consumption from last year and an increase in cost by 5.9 percent from last year’s expenditures, through December. Both of these figures are distorted by billing timing issues. Gas consumption through December decreased by 6.7 percent from last year, and costs were 13.8 percent higher. Water usage through December decreased by 1.0 percent when compared to last year and costs increased by 10.2 percent. ADULT EDUCATION FINANCIAL SUMMARY (Pages 17-21) The December financials show the fund is deficit spending by $.2 million, but this amount is offset by a carryover balance from 2021-22 of $2.2 million leaving a projected ending balance of $2.1 million.

BUILDING FUND (PROP U) FINANCIAL SUMMARY (Pages 22-25) The Bond fund does not show an undesignated amount as all monies are restricted for Prop U projects. Cash balance at December 31, 2022, is $69.4 million. This will be monitored closely as we progress in our projects. BUILDING FUND (MEASURE BB) FINANCIAL SUMMARY (Pages 26-29) This Bond Fund does not show an undesignated amount as all monies are restricted for Measure BB projects.

In addition to exploring and comparing visual arts from different perspectives and in different contexts, students are expected to engage in, experiment with and critically reflect upon a wide range of contemporary practices and media. The course is designed for students who want to go on to study visual arts in higher education as well as for those who are seeking lifelong enrichment through visual arts. The visual arts syllabus demonstrates a clear distinction between the course at SL and at HL, with additional assessment requirements at HL that allow for breadth and greater depth in the teaching and learning. The assessment tasks require HL students to reflect on how their own work has been influenced by exposure to other artists and for them to experiment in greater depth with additional art-making media, techniques and forms. HL students are encouraged to produce a larger body of resolved works and to demonstrate a deeper consideration of how their resolved works communicate with a potential viewer.
