Summary
The Lemon Grove Unified School District board unanimously approved the 2023–24 annual budget, adopted the Local Control Accountability Plan and passed resolutions on Education Protection Account funding and reserves, while authorizing applications for state facility grants.
The Lemon Grove Unified School District Governing Board unanimously adopted the district's 2023'24 annual budget on June 27, approving associated fiscal items including the Local Control Accountability Plan and two budget-related resolutions.
The vote finalizes spending authority for the coming fiscal year and accompanied motions to adopt Resolution 2022'23'31 (Education Protection Account allocations) and Resolution 2022'23'32 (Reserve for Economic Uncertainties). Board members recorded their support by voice and roll-call votes after routine motions: the budget motion was made by Cheryl Robertson and seconded by Greg Shibley and carried with all members voting yea.
Board members said the actions were needed to confirm the district's funding priorities and reserve posture for the year ahead. The board also approved Resolution 2022'23'33, authorizing staff to file applications for the California Preschool, Transitional Kindergarten and Full-Day Kindergarten Facility Grant Program to pursue state facility funds.
In addition to the budget and resolutions, the board approved a federal addendum to the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) and adopted the LCAP for 2023'24, measures the district says will guide local spending and accountability toward specified student outcomes. The board voted to accept the California Dashboard local performance indicators as submitted.
