Summary

Finance reported a March general fund balance of about $144 million and that revenues and expenses are tracking close to midyear expectations; HR reported 446 posted positions in the last 60 days and ongoing hiring activity ahead of the new school year.

The district's finance director reported that March closed with a general fund balance of about $144 million, a modest month‑to‑month decline driven in part by the timing of a transfer into the debt service account. Year‑to‑date revenues and expenses are roughly at midyear percentages, staff said, and local sales tax receipts showed modest growth compared with the prior two years.

Separately, human resources staff told the board they have advertised 446 open positions in the last 60 days and are actively processing resignations, retirements and transfers; principals are interviewing candidates and preparing hiring recommendations for board action.

A board member requested a breakout of long‑term liabilities (reported figure ~ $261 million) from the finance office to review details in the audit and support budget oversight.
