Board approves transportation plans, county cash advance and second interim budget
Summary
Travis Unified’s board adopted required transportation plans, an updated transportation safety plan, a county cash‑advance resolution for up to $8,020,381, and the district’s second interim budget report reflecting multiyear projections and a near‑term combined deficit under $3 million.
The Travis Unified Governing Board on Tuesday approved a package of financial and operational items designed to maintain services and manage cash flow through the fiscal year.
Business Services staff presented two required transportation documents and an updated transportation safety plan that outline service priorities (TK–6 priority, students with disabilities and unduplicated students), projected costs and compliance with state requirements. The board adopted both plans by motion and voice vote.
The board then adopted Resolution 2025‑26‑11 requesting Solano County authorize a constitutional advance under Article XVI §6 for approximately $8,020,381 to cover temporary cash shortages caused by state revenue timing. Treasurer/County rules will govern interest charged; staff said the district uses county advances routinely as a cash‑flow tool.
On a comprehensive financial update, Business Services presented the second interim budget (actuals through Jan. 31). Staff reported projected revenues of about $86 million (LCFF $66.6M, federal $5.8M, state/local nearly $13.6M) and total expenditures near $90M. The report showed an unrestricted general fund deficit of about $1.3M for the current year and a combined district deficit just under $3M across funds. Reserves remain above the board’s 20% target for the current year but are projected to decline in subsequent years depending on COLA and one‑time state funding.
All motions were adopted by voice vote. The board’s business team said they will monitor multi‑year projections, labor negotiations and potential state one‑time funds ahead of the May revise and the June budget adoption.
Why it matters: Approving the transportation and safety plans preserves the district’s eligibility for related funding and keeps services operating; the county advance provides short‑term liquidity while budget projections guide longer‑term decisions about reserves, staffing and capital projects.
