Board adopts 2024–25 unaudited actuals and LCAP technical revisions

At the Sept. 9 meeting the board adopted the district’s unaudited actuals for 2024–25 and approved related fiscal resolutions. Michelle Coffin (director of fiscal services) reported a general fund ending balance of $69,500,000, restricted categorical programs totaling $12.8 million, committed funds of $21.0 million (including $9.4 million for accommodation for growth), a required 3% reserve ($5.6 million), and an unappropriated ending balance of $16.5 million. The year closed with a $4.3 million increase from prior estimates driven largely by interest and fair-market-value gains and slightly lower expenditures. Staff said the external audit will run over the next months and the audit report will be shared with the board in January.

The board also adopted technical revisions to the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) required by the county. District staff said the changes were technical and did not alter goals or fiscal commitments; the county asked the district to more explicitly describe progress (for example, EL goals and bilingual instructional aide usage). Trustees voted to adopt the LCAP provisions and other fiscal resolutions including Gann limit certification and consolidated application (Title) approvals. Each motion passed on roll-call votes.
