FINANCIAL SUMMARY (GENERAL FUND) (Page 1) On September 30, 2024, the reserve for economic uncertainties was $14.9 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, IT equipment refresh, synthetic turf & track replacement; classroom technology, teacher laptop refresh (25/26 - 27/28), school safety, AB 218 Schools Excess Liability, 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 expenditures in excess of revenues of $4,672,862 (deficit spending), $3.6 million of which is due to planned one-time expenditures for deferred maintenance, school safety, and teacher laptop refresh. PIE CHARTS (Pages 3-4) Revenue shows 76.0 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 81.7 percent of total expenditures, minus other outgo for debt service payments, tuition, and indirect costs. INCOME (Page 1) Projected revenues through September, 2024, amount to $307.7 million. Since the Adopted Budget, adjustments have been made to the Federal, State and Local revenues. The $5.4 million increase is comprised of the following: $1.4 million increase in program funds re-budgeted from prior year upnspent balances, $1.4 million increase in Federal ESEA dollars, $0.3 million increase in LCFF, $0.3 million increase in Home-to-School Transportation Reimbursement, $1.7 million increase in miscellaneous program balances. Refer to details on pages 5-9. EXPENDITURES (Page 1) The forecast through September 2024 is $331.3 million. It includes all known program changes and carryovers from 2023-24. Changes from the Adopted Budget include carryover balances re-budgeted from prior year unspent balances, projected unexpended adjustments, department and school site allocation adjustments, position growth, school safety, teacher laptop refresh, deferred maintenance, 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 ongoing and major maintenance on an annual basis for 20 years after receipt of funds. Actual expenditures through September 30, 2024, amount to $2.3 million. AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE (ADA) (Page 13) The projected P2 ADA for 24/25 is 14,441.40. However, 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 the adopted budget reflects funded ADA of 15,298.36 (three year prior average). CASH FLOW (Page 14) The year-to-date ending cash balance amounts to $68.5 million. No short-term cash borrowing via TRANS is required this year. UTILITIES (Pages 15-16) The District has experienced an 3.6 percent increase in electrical consumption from last year. The cost for electricity decreased by 12.6 percent from last year’s expenditures, through September. Gas consumption through September decreased by 42.0 percent from last year, and costs were 45.7 percent lower. Water usage through August increased by 27.0 percent when compared to last year and costs increased by 24.8 percent. ADULT EDUCATION FINANCIAL SUMMARY (Pages 17-21) The September financials show the fund is deficit spending by $.5 million, but this amount is offset by a carryover balance from 2023-24 of $5.6 million leaving a projected ending balance of $5.1 million. Cash balance at September 30, 2024, is $3.0 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.
