Superintendent reports modest attendance and enrollment gains; details fund balance and one-time projects
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Richard Rivera reported an ADA of 14,007.81 (above budgeted levels), enrollment shifts by campus, and one-time projects funded from reserves and interest income including activity buses, LED stadium lights and turf work.
Superintendent Dr. Richard Rivera presented the district's monthly report, saying average daily attendance after the fifth week was 14,007.81 and that the district's funding is tied to ADA. He said sustained attendance at current levels could generate an estimated $2.4 million in additional funds for the district.
Dr. Rivera reviewed enrollment changes by campus (noting both gains and declines across elementary and secondary campuses) and summarized how the district proposes to use roughly $20 million in one-time funds. Projects listed included stadium LED light upgrades, portable AC units, maintenance vehicles, three activity buses already received, sensory-room work and turf replacement at athletic facilities. On fund balance Dr. Rivera described a three-month reserve (statutory requirement) and said approximately $20 million remained available for one-time needs after reserved amounts were subtracted.
Trustees and staff discussed the budgeting assumptions, projected interest income, and timing for November's final audited numbers. Trustees praised staff for achieving high ratings on finance indicators and asked for follow-up details on planned capital spending and timelines.
