Committee hears staff review of grants, special funds and projected revenues
Summary
Staff reviewed Title I, Title III, SIA, Measure 98, early literacy and other grant-funded programs, noting SIA at about $1.7 million and Measure 98 at roughly $460,000; staff said grants are used strategically to staff programming and are spend-out constrained by June 30 deadlines.
Staff walked the committee through the district's special revenue funds and grant programs, explaining that many positions are supported by grants and that grant awards and carryover windows affect the general fund picture. The SIA grant was cited at roughly $1.7 million and Measure 98 at about $460,000; staff also described an early literacy tutoring award of approximately $56,000.
The presentation noted that several grants run on different fiscal cycles and that some grants do not allow carryover beyond June 30 — "those grants Measure 98, early literacy and SIA all have to be spent out by June 30," staff said — so expenditure timing and candidacy affect the budget. Staff emphasized they budget conservatively and will not spend grant funds unless the district actually receives them.
