Board warns 2% state‑aid trend would force structural reset in district services
Summary
Trustees said a likely 2% annual state aid increase would leave a significant budget gap and require the district to streamline services; they reported meetings with state lawmakers about the issue.
Board members raised concern that, under current state funding patterns, a 2% annual increase in state aid would not keep pace with district needs and would compel a long‑term reset of programs. One trustee said, "If it's going to be 2% every year, then that changes everything," and urged advocacy to state lawmakers (Committee member and McKinney‑Vento officer).
The board noted it has communicated with Assemblyman Barkley, "Senator Ryan," and the governor to express displeasure about the 2% trend and emphasized that state aid makes up a majority of district revenue. Members said that, unless state policy changes, the district will need to plan structural reductions rather than temporary fixes.
