Board ratifies tentative CSEA agreement, certifies instructional materials and accepts unaudited actuals
Summary
The board ratified a tentative agreement with CSEA (subject to AB 1200 fiscal review), adopted a Williams instructional‑materials resolution, set the 2025–26 appropriation (GANN) limit, and approved the 2024–25 unaudited actuals showing a $69 million unrestricted ending fund balance with designations for labor contingencies.
The Elk Grove Unified School District board voted on several fiscal and bargaining items during its Aug. 27 meeting.
Labor agreement: Staff reported the tentative agreement between the district and the California School Employees Association (CSEA) for the 2024–25 and 2025–26 school years had been ratified by CSEA members and submitted with an AB 1200 fiscal review to the Sacramento County Office of Education. The board moved and unanimously ratified the tentative agreement.
Instructional materials: Under Education Code §60119 (Williams legislation), staff presented an annual public hearing and recommended adoption of Resolution No. 15 certifying that the district has sufficient textbooks and instructional materials for core subjects and for world language/health and that appropriate laboratory equipment is available for relevant science courses. The board adopted the resolution unanimously.
Appropriation limit and unaudited actuals: The board adopted Resolution No. 13 establishing the district’s GANN appropriation limit for 2025–26 at $661.6 million and recalculated the 2024–25 limit. Finance staff then presented the 2024–25 unaudited actuals, reporting an unrestricted ending general‑fund balance of about $69 million (including assigned funds for pending labor agreements, recruitment/retention commitments, and a state‑required minimum reserve of approximately $22.4 million). Restricted balances include $32.6M for expanded learning and $36.9M for learning recovery programs. The board approved the unaudited actuals unanimously.
What happens next: The AB 1200 review by the county office will complete the fiscal analysis of the CSEA agreement; unaudited actuals will be reviewed by county and ultimately audited by external auditors as part of the annual audit cycle.
Ending note: Board members asked clarifying questions during presentations and moved the financial and bargaining items forward with unanimous votes.
