Board certifies first interim 2024–25 budget after hearing on personnel-driven structural deficit
Summary
Finance staff presented the 2024–25 first interim budget, warning of a structural deficit driven by personnel costs; after questions, the board moved to approve and certify the interim budget and the motion passed.
Marc Caffey presented the district’s first interim budget for 2024–25, warning that the district faces a structural deficit largely driven by personnel costs. Caffey told the board, “un 85 por 100 de nuestros costos vienen del personal,” and explained that one‑time pandemic funds supporting additional positions will expire, putting pressure on future budgets.
Board members asked about the assumptions for property‑tax growth, the reserve target (noted at around 20%), and which positions were financed with one‑time funds. After discussion a member moved to approve and certify the first interim budget; the motion was approved on a voice vote recorded in the transcript as "Se aprueba la moción." No roll-call vote tally appears in the transcript.
