Rocklin Unified board adopts 2025–26 budget and LCAP; highlights new online budget book
Summary
The Rocklin Unified board unanimously adopted the 2025–26 budget and the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP); staff highlighted a newly posted, 81-page district budget book and changes to committed funds including a 3% stabilization allocation and a $7.15 million one-time facilities set-aside.
The Rocklin Unified School District board unanimously adopted the 2025–26 budget and the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) during its meeting.
Hana Anderson, director of innovation and school programs, presented the LCAP draft and told trustees no substantive changes had been made since the May 28 public hearing. "This draft includes the budget overview for parents, LCAP goals and metrics at a glance," Anderson said before the board moved and approved the plan.
Deputy Superintendent Jennifer Stallber then presented the district's budget overview and annual certification related to self-insured workers' compensation claims. Stallber said committed funds in the general fund have increased due to the addition of a 3% stabilization agreement and that one-time district safety and facility allocations totaling $7.15 million are included in the committed line. She reported the district’s adopted unassigned reserve for economic uncertainty is projected at 5.82% for 2025–26.
Stallber also highlighted a newly posted district "budget book," a more user-friendly, site-level document the district published online. The board noted the book is 81 pages and provides FTE and site budget detail intended to improve transparency for community members and staff.
The board approved the budget and certification by roll call. Trustees Tiffany Satov, Derek Counter, Michelle Sutherland and Board President Michelle Price each voted yes following a motion by Trustee Counter and a second by Trustee Sutherland.
What happens next: Stallber said the district will submit the adopted budget to the county office of education as required, monitor the final state budget expected in June, and if material changes occur will return to the board with a 45-day revision followed by audited actuals in the fall.
Budget specifics cited at the meeting: a committed funds total shown at roughly $23.9 million in the adopted presentation, a stabilizing 3% amount (estimated at approximately $5.41–$5.48 million in estimated actuals in staff slides), and a practice of allocating 3% of total expenditures for routine restricted maintenance each year.
