San Rafael board receives midyear LCAP update and budget overview for parents
Summary
District staff presented a midyear update on the 2024–25 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and the Budget Overview for Parents, summarizing goals, supplemental funding, and next steps for community engagement and LCAP drafting.
On Feb. 10 district staff presented the San Rafael City School District board with a midyear update on the 2024–25 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and an accompanying Budget Overview for Parents for both the elementary and high school districts.
The presentation explained that the LCAP is the district’s three‑year plan for how it will use Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) base, supplemental and concentration funds to support student outcomes and equity. Staff said the midyear update provides a snapshot of progress, highlights “high‑leverage” actions aligned to the district’s four strategic goals, and ties school‑level plans to district funding priorities.
Key points and numbers: Staff said the elementary district’s total LCFF was about $60 million at budget adoption with roughly $13 million identified as supplemental/concentration funds. The high school district’s LCFF was presented near $38 million with about $6 million in supplemental/concentration funds. Staff noted that some planned LCAP actions remain unencumbered midyear because of timing in the school year and that coding adjustments sometimes move expenditures into supplemental/concentration accounts later.
What staff will do next: Cabinet members said they will continue reviewing progress and data, survey parents and staff in the spring (a custom survey in the year the district does not run YouthTruth), incorporate feedback into the 2025 LCAP drafts, and return to the board for review before final June approval. Staff emphasized that the district’s ongoing presentations and engagement throughout the year feed the LCAP and that the midyear check‑in is intended to synthesize that work.
Trustee remarks and related items: Trustees asked clarifying questions about after‑school and summer program enrollment versus attendance, and staff clarified how enrollment does not equal average daily attendance. Staff said after‑school enrollment numbers are tracked and that the state may provide tiers of grant funding that affect program expansion.
Ending: Staff said the midyear update will shape strategic‑plan revisions and inform next year’s LCAP drafts, with board review scheduled this spring and final approval in June.
