Loading...
Summary
At the March 10 meeting the board certified its second interim financial report, approved the consent agenda and passed a temporary release resolution for certain certificated employees; staff reported a modest revenue uptick (including FEMA COVID reimbursement and increased TLC tuition) offset by rising one‑time expenses.
The El Segundo Unified Board of Education certified its second interim financial report for fiscal year 2025–26 and approved routine consent items at its March 10 meeting.
Dr. Linz presented the second interim, saying the district saw roughly $500,000 in additional revenue (including a FEMA COVID reimbursement and higher TLC tuition) and just over $1,000,000 in increased expenses tied to safety upgrades, special education and additional staffing. “We still maintain healthy reserve levels in our general fund,” the presenter said, and noted that roughly 78% of the budget goes to salaries and benefits.
The board approved the consent agenda (items 5a–g) by voice vote (5–0) and voted to certify the district’s financial condition (item 7a) by a unanimous vote. The board also approved Resolution No. 10 — a temporary release for certain certificated employees assigned to one‑year contracts (placeholders for leaves or one‑time funded positions) — by a 5–0 vote.
Separately, the El Segundo Education Foundation reported $212,900 raised in the Friendship Foundation/Skechers walk; foundation representatives encouraged ticket purchases for the May 9 Ed Gala and promoted summer Academy of Ed course registrations.
Board members used their reports to highlight recent school events, campus visits and the district’s recognition: two campuses were named California Distinguished Schools. President closed the meeting at about 7:45 p.m.
Items previewed for future meetings included policy updates around technology, artificial intelligence, cell phones and high‑school graduation requirements, which staff said will be returned for board consideration on a future agenda.
