Assistant Superintendent Lisa Davis told the board the January state budget proposal includes a timing change that will shift certain tax collections for Los Angeles fire-impacted residents to October, an action that will reduce available local revenues for the next fiscal year. Davis said staff currently project a 2.4% COLA for next year and are monitoring the evolving revenue picture.
Davis also reported that the district is purchasing emergency equipment including backup generators and MiFi devices to support school operations during power outages triggered by weather or utility shutoffs. The district presented these preparedness purchases as part of routine operations and risk mitigation; no vote beyond consent approval of procurement contracts was recorded during the meeting.
