Travis Unified board hears budget update; approves annual Education Protection Account resolution
Summary
Trustees were briefed on the district’s budget and reserve posture and approved an annual resolution to use Education Protection Account (EPA) funds for teacher salaries; staff noted an unaudited $741,000 increase to unrestricted fund balance that will appear in September unaudited actuals.
At the May 14 meeting the Travis Unified School District board heard a budget briefing from district staff and approved Resolution 2023‑24 D19 confirming the district will use Education Protection Account (EPA) funds for teacher salaries as required by the state.
District staff reiterated that reductions or layoffs will not occur for the 2024–25 school year and that any staffing reductions for 2025–26 would come before the board for final decision. Staff also reported that an unaudited revenue item of about $741,000 will raise the district’s unrestricted ending fund balance; staff said that amount will be reflected in the unaudited actuals in September.
The board voted to approve the annual EPA resolution, which the district says is consistent with state restrictions on EPA funds: those dollars are dedicated to teacher compensation. The motion to approve the resolution was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote.
Board members thanked business‑office staff and the human resources office for their work; union and public commenters later raised questions about compensation, special‑education contracting costs and teacher morale during a separate public‑comment period.
Next steps: staff will present unaudited actuals in September and a first interim budget revision in December; any proposed staffing or program reductions for 2025–26 would be returned to the board for decision.
