2014-15 Proposed Budget Goals • Maintain fiscal solvency for proposed year and two subsequent years (Certify Positive if had been required for Budget) • Restore programs and add supplemental support as determined by the LCAP • A balanced budget with expenditures not exceeding revenues (Continue working to eliminate the structural deficit) • District Reserves at 3% for Economic Uncertainties and additional reserves as determined by policy and LCFF gap funding
2014-15 Proposed Budget Assumptions • Reviewed and produced 2013-14 estimated actuals to create 2014-15 beginning balance • Implemented current LCFF revenue figures • Adjusted for Additional and Temporary Positions proposed for 2014-15 • Adjusted for LCAP for 2014-15 • Class sizes kept at the same ratios as 2013-14 • K-3 Class sizes are already at the LCFF target of 24:1
2014-15 Proposed Budget Assumptions • Followed LACOErecommendations for COLA (0.85%) and for LCFF gap funding(28.06%). • QEIA Revenue included only for 2014-15 • Enrollment/ADA projected at a loss of 15 for budget year and MYP’s. • Cost of step/column/range changes included in current year and MYP’s. • Increase in CALSTRS and CALPERS contributions per Governor’s May Revise for budget year and MYP’s.
2015-16 and 2016-17 Proposed Budget Assumptions 2015-16 • Followed LACOE recommendations for COLA (2.19%) and for LCFF gap funding (28.06%). • Loss of QEIA funding (Approx. $2.9M). Replaced with $2.9M LCFF Supplemental and Concentration funding per the LCAP. 2016-17 • Followed LACOE recommendations for COLA (2.14%) and for LCFF gap funding (19.50%).
Other Items of Note • This Budget adoption report does not call for a school district positive, qualified, or negative status report • 2014-15 Current Bargaining Unit Agreements included in projections. District is currently in negotiations with LTA. • LMSTA Estimated Actuals are reported in Fund 09. The 2014-15 LMSTA Budget is reported using their own CDS code and is separate from the District’s budget due to their independence.
Other Items of Note • Cafeteria Fund (Fund 13) revenue increased by $1,282,430 from 2012-13. This is mostly due to an increase in capturing completed meal applications from every family and due to an increase in participation. • The Jefferson ORG project (Fund 35) is projected to be completed by January 2015
What’s Next? • District Negotiations • Submit Adopted Budget and LCAP by July 1, 2014 • Await Governor’s Signature on Signed Budget • Delay in implementation of CALSTRS increases? • Additional gap funding based on LAO projections? • Additional Common Core funding? • Additional slots and elimination of family fees for State Preschool? • COLA of 0.85% for Categoricals outside of LCFF?
