The Birmingham Community Charter High District board approved a mid‑cycle revision to the 2024–25 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and the related Budget Overview for Parents, staff said, clarifying that the action shifts existing revenues between funding categories rather than adding new money.
In presenting the item, a staff member said state guidance now requires additional mid‑cycle reporting following the influx of federal grants since the pandemic. The board was shown a 96‑page packet that includes the Budget Overview for Parents. Staff said the revision moves some spending from base grant lines into supplemental and concentration allocations tied to high‑need students; the presenter described an $18,000 change in the total budgeted expenditures attributed to high‑need students and staff reclassifications within LCAP actions.
Why it matters: the LCAP is the district’s principal public accountability document; the board must approve revisions to the publicly posted Budget Overview for Parents. Staff said the mid‑cycle update is a transparency requirement and does not increase the total dollars available.
Details staff provided: the revision reattributed several certificated and classified staff positions across LCAP actions, including identifying five certificated and one classified special education staff member under a supplemental/concentration action. Staff also said some programs previously coded to base funding were reclassified to supplemental/concentration for clarity and compliance with state reporting.
Board action: A motion to approve the LCAP revision was moved and seconded and carried. No specific roll‑call vote totals were spoken on the record during the motion; the board chair called for “aye” and the motion passed.
Ending: Staff said they coordinated the mid‑cycle revision with county and district oversight offices and that the item closes the mid‑cycle reporting requirement as of March 31.
