New Haven Unified board adopts 2024–25 unaudited actuals and approves multiple proclamations, MOUs and contracts
Summary
At its Sept. 9 meeting the New Haven Unified Board approved the district’s unaudited 2024–25 actuals, proclaimed October observances and passed multiple MOUs and program agreements; Assistant Superintendent Kevin Franklin reported revenues and expenditures came within 1% of projections.
The New Haven Unified School District Board of Education on Sept. 9 adopted the district’s unaudited actuals for fiscal year 2024–25, approved proclamations recognizing Filipino American and LGBTQIA+ History Months for October 2025, and approved a bundle of memoranda of understanding, program agreements and purchases.
Kevin Franklin, the assistant superintendent of business, told trustees the district closed its books for 2024–25 and came “within less than 1% variance from our estimated actuals projections” on both revenues and expenditures. He said the Local Control Funding Formula remains the largest revenue source and that salaries and benefits represent the largest share of spending. Franklin reported the general fund contributed roughly $22 million toward special education services and about $2.6 million for special education transportation; routine restricted maintenance contribution was about $5 million. He said the district met the state’s minimum classroom expenditure requirement at 58% of the budget.
On motions and votes, the board approved a series of items listed on the agenda. Key outcomes included:

All passed by voice vote as recorded on the meeting record.
Several human‑services, curricular and extracurricular contracts and MOUs were approved as part of individual action items or the consent agenda. The board also authorized staff to proceed with Measure N design work for the James Logan modernization project and directed staff to convene school‑site committees when renaming facilities per district policy.
What this means: The unaudited actuals will be finalized in the upcoming audit and presented later in the year; the board’s actions authorize continuing programs and partnerships that fund enrichment, nutrition and student supports. Trustees emphasized adherence to board policies and that staff will follow up with requested governance and programmatic details.
Recorded actions and minutes reflect voice votes with motions moved and seconded; where recorded the clerk stated “motion carries” and no roll‑call tallies were published in the transcript for each item.
