The Robla Elementary School District board voted unanimously to approve the 2025–26 First Interim Report with a positive certification on Dec. 18.

The district presenter told the board that the First Interim reflects budget changes through Oct. 31. Budgeted revenue at First Interim was reported at $42,341,508 (LCFF sources ~ $29 million; state revenue just over $9.3 million; federal about $1.7 million; local about $2.3 million). The presenter described expenditure changes since budget adoption — increases in certificated salaries (~$450,000), classified salaries (~$755,000), benefits (~$218,000), books and supplies (~$800,000) and other operating expenses (~$1.2M) — for a total expenditure budget of $44,872,508. The presenter emphasized these are budgeted amounts, not actual expenditures.

Board members asked about enrollment assumptions underlying staffing projections and about potential state budget‑level risk; staff said multiyear projections assume a 2% step/column increase, a 2% salary increase for 26–27, absorption of certain one‑time grant funds, and modest utility increases. Presenters noted the district must be mindful of projected deficits and monitor changes to the governor’s January budget; staff will update projections after that release.

The board approved the First Interim with a positive certification by unanimous voice vote.
