• There are three major risks to the state and, by extension, the education budget
• The potential for an overheated economy largely due to run away inflation caused by:
• Unrelenting supply chain blockages • Worker shortages • Nearly unparalleled levels of federal spending
• Wall Street reaction to inflationary pressures and future Federal Reserve actions on interest rates
• This is particularly important for the California State Budget as the General Fund relies heavily on the wealth of high earners
• Potential resurgence of COVID-19 due to vaccine resistant variants or under- vaccinated populations
Risks to the Budget
Governor’s May Proposal • Targeted intervention grant
• Approximately $3.5-$3.9 million in one-time funds • In-person instruction – health & safety grant
• Approximately $2.6-$2.9 million in one-time funds • Increase concentration grant from 50% to 65% of the
adjusted base grant • No funding for AUSD
Enacted Budget • Expanded Learning Opportunity Program (ELOP)
• Approximately $600K to $1M in annual funding • Unemployment Insurance – buy down of .7% • Deferral paydown • Increase concentration grant from 50% to 65% of the

Credit Recovery & Grading Options
On July 1, 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill (AB) 104, providing significant opportunities for all students, but particularly for high school students.
1. High school students may request that a letter grade from the 2020-2021 school year be changed to a Pass or No Pass grade;
2. Certain 2020-2021 high school juniors and seniors are allowed to graduate without meeting all local graduation requirements. Schools are required to provide additional support towards graduation including a fifth year of high school, credit recovery, or some other opportunity to complete CA State graduation requirements.
3. The bill also provides parents of “eligible pupils” a supplemental review process to consider retention at the 2020-2021 grade level, if desired. “Eligible pupil” is defined as a student who has received a D, F, or No Pass grade for at least one-half of the student’s coursework in the 2020-2021 school year, but does not include a pupil enrolled in grade 12 during the 2020-21 school year.

• On-going Prop 98 funding for the state reimbursement to cover the cost of providing free meals
• May create a challenge in collecting Free and Reduced Meal applications, a significant contributor to the District’s LCFF Supplemental funding
