Rocklin Unified trustees approve 2024–25 budget, workers' compensation certification and tax reports
Summary
The board approved the 2024–25 adopted budget and annual workers' compensation certification, noting a conservative ADA assumption of 11,105, a projected revenue dip tied to prior high years, and ongoing savings of roughly $500,000 from non-classroom reductions; trustees also approved Resolution 2322446 for CFD tax reports.
The Rocklin Unified School District Board of Trustees voted to approve the district’s 2024–25 adopted budget, certify workers' compensation figures and approve Resolution 2322446 approving tax reports for three Community Facilities Districts.
Jennifer Stalber, deputy superintendent for business and operations, presented the budget overview and annual certification for workers' compensation claims. Stalber said the district projects a modest decrease in some revenues because higher prior-year funding years are dropping out of the funding formula, though average daily attendance (ADA) increased this year and the district left funded ADA conservatively flat at 11,105 for planning purposes.
"The majority of our revenues come from our local control funding formula—almost 80%—and 84.44% of all expenditures are related to salary and benefits," Stalber said. She told trustees the district had identified approximately $500,000 in ongoing savings by reorganizing non-classroom functions and reducing duplicative costs such as software, and that those measures were taken to avoid impacts to classroom staff and services.
Stalber noted some one-time bus-grant revenues and corresponding expenditures dropped out of the comparison to the current year, producing part of the projected change in overall revenues and expenditures. Trustees asked clarifying questions about planning assumptions and the supporting attachments; Stalber said the packet included detailed narratives and planning factors derived from sources such as School Services of California and state agencies.
Earlier in the meeting, Stalber introduced Resolution 2322446, approving tax reports for Community Facilities District numbers 1, 2 and 3; trustees approved the resolution and later approved the budget and workers' compensation certification by roll-call votes.
Georgia (staff member) called the roll for both votes: Julie Hup, Relle Price, Derek Counter, Michelle Southerland and President Tiffany Sadoff voted yes. No public comment was received prior to adjournment to closed session.
The board will continue to monitor enrollment, ADA and state trailer bill language that could affect final budget figures and will report updates at interim budget reviews.
