Approval of the Application for Exemption from the Required Expenditures for Classroom Teachers' Salaries Meeting Sep 23, 2024 - Meeting of the Bakersfield City School District Board of Education Category H. Business Services Type Action Recommended Action It is recommended that the 2023-2024 Application for the Exemption from the Required Expenditures for Classroom Teachers' Salaries be approved and filed with the Kern County Superintendent of Schools office. Prepared by: Bea Corral, Director, Fiscal Services Staff Analysis: Education Code Section 41372 requires that at least 60% of general fund expenditures for an elementary school district be spent on classroom teacher and aide salaries and benefits. An exemption to this expenditure requirement may be filed with the County Superintendent of Schools Office when the threshold is not met but a district's salaries and employer paid benefits for classroom teachers are in excess of the amounts paid by comparable districts. BCSD's 2023-24 classroom teacher and aide salary and benefit expenses represented 53.91% of total general fund expenditures, 6.09% less than the 60% requirement. This requirement which predates to the 1970's, has become increasingly difficult to meet due to the implementation of the LCFF formula and the utilization of one-time federal funding received in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, whereby a greater percentage of general fund expenditures are spent on supplemental actions. If a school district does not meet the requirement and meets the qualifications for a waiver from the requirement, it may submit an application for exemption from the requirement to the County Superintendent of Schools Office. BCSD meets the requirements for exemption as shown in the attached application. File Attachments BOARD ITEM 09_23_24 APPLICATION FOR EXEMPTION FROM REQUIRED EXP.
