Fullerton Joint Union HSD adopts 2025–26 budget and affirms positive certification
Summary
The board approved the district’s 2025–26 adopted budget using the Governor’s May revise and other guidance, reporting a positive certification and multi-year reserve projection averaging roughly 31%.
The Fullerton Joint Union High School District Board approved the district’s adopted budget for fiscal year 2025–26 after a public hearing and presentation by Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Ruben Hernandez.
Hernandez told the board state budget legislation had not been finalized and staff used the Governor’s May revise, guidance from the California Department of Education, and industry partners to prepare the budget. He reported that the district’s adopted budget carried a positive certification and projected reserve levels averaging about 31% across a three-year projection.
The board approved the adopted budget by voice vote (recorded as 5–0). Hernandez said staff will bring material changes back to the board after the state enacts its budget as part of the 45-day budget revision process if revisions are necessary.
Board members asked clarifying questions about federal grant timing and reserve levels; Hernandez explained some federal funds are reimbursable while others are funded upfront depending on the grant.
