Budget/Finance Report

Board Meeting Feb. 17, 2015

1. Textbook 2014-15 Update: P.O.s are still being processed, so the final amount is not yet determined. Issue tabled until March.

2. Tech Projects: currently running at or below budget. O Castro and M Ngo requested an update on the dollar amounts spent thus far by project (including iPads), hopefully at the March meeting; M Ngo reports we have sufficient tech for Common Core testing; 269 loaner iPads have been distributed and 51 families have purchased iPads from the school. The committee noted the need to know what tablet/device model we’ll be pursuing next year in order to allocate appropriate funds. 3. Civic Center Permits Revenue/Expenditures Update: the pool is doing better than budgeted; other permits aren’t as profitable as budgeted yet, but they aren’t cyclical and predictable (large chunks come in at a time such as the $97,000 in January). We’re paying higher salaries than expected in the effort to provide more permits (higher revenue). D Riccardi reported on some Prop 39 funding and projects; the group discussed upcoming renovations/repairs to lights, track, and field. 4. Transportation Update: we have had higher scholarship expenditures than expected; this will be an area for discussion in next year’s budget. D Riccardi reported a three-year deal with Tumbleweed to keep costs consistent. 5. LCAP priorities: being revisited. There’s a link under “Admin” on the website with an update, and LTSP will be a key forum for continued revision for next year’s LCAP. 6. 2014-15 Budget Update: we had an overview. G Wood and M Bush spoke about our participation in a COP regarding Special Ed funding. G Wood reported anticipating increased funding in 2015-16. 7. 2015-16 Budget Cycle Calendar: adopted for recommendation with revisions – G Wood has this to present to the Board. Concerns include a) doing as much vetting (and tentative approval) as possible before the day-long meeting, b) communication of approved/non-approved requests, and c) timing the meetings (Budget/Finance and Trustees) at the end of the year. M Ngo will be available to present to the Board as of 6/10/15 (AP Scoring for the week and a half prior).

8. Lifetime Health Benefits – the groups was very happy to hear that the funds

had been moved to a separate account and that the interest is being looked at next. We’re excited to hear the next steps. J (Thank you for helping that happen quickly!)
