Piedmont Unified School District

Second Interim Report

March 14, 2012

Support Information

The budget document is a reflection of the District’s goals and philosophy and is consistent with its priorities of providing a breadth and depth of educational program for all students while maintaining highly qualified staff by providing a competitive compensation package.

Support Information

Governing Boards are required to certify the financial condition of school districts twice during the school year. A Positive Certification means the District believes it will be able to meet financial obligations for the remainder of the current fiscal year and subsequent two fiscal years.

Support Information

Certification is based on the General Fund Summary of Revenues and Expenditures as presented in the Interim Reports. The District submitted a Positive Certification for the First Interim Report in 12/2011, with notice that it would begin to address a $1.2M shortfall in the 2013-14 school year by presenting various scenarios for Board consideration.

Support Information

Since the presentation of the First Interim Report in December, the Governor’s proposed 2012-13 Budget unveiled in January continues to has changed the financial landscape for how district’s will develop and adopt their budgets for next year: The Governor’s education budget includes trigger reductions if November tax initiatives fail.

Districts must consider and calculate their total

exposure under a worst-case scenario, while understanding a host of variables will alter these calculations several times in the coming months.

Budget Assumptions

The Second Interim report is based on assumptions in place on January 31, 2012, including actual revenue and expenditures

The Second Interim report does not anticipate results of State-wide tax initiatives, but does consider the financial impact of a loss of $370/ADA and further reductions to the Revenue Limit should there be no Cost of Living Adjustments and increases to the Deficit Factor

Budget Assumptions

The Second Interim report does not anticipate results of potential State-wide ballot measures, but does consider the financial impact of a loss of $350/ADA and added cost ($305k) for mental health services (AB3632) shifted to school districts should the Governor’s Proposed Budget fail

Revenue: -$86,454 A $137,195 mid-year cut is noted as an adjustment to the reserve fund balance. State Revenue increased $193,415, but is lower than anticipated as part of the State Mental Health (AB 3632) reimbursement ($135k) the District hopes to receive later this year. Lottery revenues increased $43k; the District received $16k for transportation, counseling, math, and reading programs.

A decrease in local revenue of -$33,170 is due to unreimbursed AB 3632 funding (-$371k) offset by donations to the Wellness Center ($26k); revised income contributions of ($95k) from parent clubs, PEF, music donations, special education; receivables from associated student body funds, grants, principal resource accounts, and athletic fees ($216k).

The General Fund – Second Interim

Summary & Recommendation

Multi-year projections follow the Governor’s Proposed Budget assumptions, and will be amended for the 2012-13 Adopted Budget in June, 2012 as more information is learned

The Alameda County Office of Education works with each district to address its unique circumstances and supports PUSD’s budget development process for 2012/13


The staff, Board of Education, and community at large understand the consequences of the State’s budget uncertainties and plan accordingly. The Board’s directive to build strong reserves and its ability to increase revenue and reduce expenses as needed will provide time to respond to economic uncertainty.


The District business services staff will work closely with the Business Services department at Alameda County Office and in consultation with School Services of California. The Alameda County Office of Education is dedicated to supporting Piedmont to assure requirements of AB 1200 and the Daucher Bill are met.


The Budget Advisory Committee (BAC) is a standing committee with representatives from all stakeholders in the District, and is a vehicle for dissemination of information to as many parents, students, staff and community members as possible. Its purpose is to review the District’s budget, share the information with constituent groups, and generate recommendations for Board consideration in the budget development process.

Recommendation: Action

Upon review of the 2011-12 Second Interim Report, approve a Positive certification of the District’s capacity to meet financial obligations for the current year and subsequent two fiscal years, and authorize the appropriate budget transfers to reflect the amounts presented.

Adult Education Fund

Adult Education is balanced for 2011-12 and contributions to the General Fund in the amount of $120,000 remain ongoing

Adult Educations continues to offer diploma program classes and activities for senior citizens at no cost to the public

The Adult Education Fund has built reserves for use in case of economic uncertainty in future years

Adult Education Fund The Adult Education program is self-sufficient, operating independently of the District’s General Fund. The Adult Education Fund remains fiscally solvent for 2011/12 and beyond

Cafeteria Fund

The Cafeteria Fund is a separate fund for which the District tracks all food services operations. Food services at the elementary sites are exclusively operated by parent volunteers.

Food service at PHS and PMS require 2-3 employees whose salaries are accounted for through this fund. All costs associated with the operation of the food services provided to the students are wholly supported by the Parent Club organizations.

Cafeteria Fund

Revenue is anticipated to increase by the cost of salary and benefits for employees in the multi-year projections. Expenses include a 1.5% increases in salaries (longevity) for eligible employees

This fund does not receive contributions from the District General Fund.

Deferred Maintenance Fund

Expenditures for this fund support the District’s Five-Year Deferred Maintenance Plan. Costs reflected in services and operating expenses remain the same, and the use of Deferred Maintenance funds in support of Seismic Safety Bond projects is ongoing.

The Board-approved deferred maintenance contract for 2011-12 transpired after January 31, 2012, and is not included in multi-year projections.

Deferred Maintenance

DM funds are used in support of the Seismic Safety Bond Program where appropriate

DM fund projections show modest growth over the multi-year projections

Building Fund The Building Fund is the fund for which all voter-

approved Bond measure proceeds are accounted

Expenses for Seismic Safety Bond Program projects continue in this fund, but must now be accounted for in the State School Facilities Fund (as modernization funds) applied to building projects.

The Citizens Oversight Committee makes its annual report to the Board this evening

Reports on the Building Fund do not show State funds received. They are tracked in a separate fund (Fund 35).

Multi-year projections anticipate completion of SSBP projects in 2012-13

Capital Facilities Fund

The Capital Facilities Fund is a fund for capital projects as identified by the Board of Education. Interest earnings, capital improvement projects (funded through donations), and limited facilities rental fees reflect any current changes to this fund.

State School Facilities Fund

The State School Facilities Fund is where restricted money received from the State of California for the modernization and construction of school facilities is held. It is different from the Building Fund, which contains proceeds from the voter-approved Bond measure.

Funds from the School Facilities Fund will be transferred to the Building Fund as needed to complete seismic safety bond projects.

State School Facilities

All funds are shown as expended for 2011-12, though adjustments will be made at the June 2012-13 Adopted Budget once the final GMP for Beach School is determined

Parcel Tax Reserve Fund

The Parcel Tax Reserve Fund was established for funds from the first year of the current Parcel Tax approved by voters to support programs as necessary in later years of the term of the tax
