LCAP and Budget: two great things that go great together...

​Open session starts at 7pm in the LASD Board Room at 201 Covington Rd.  The entire agenda can be found here.

The Board will be Recognizing Retiring Employees.  These recognition ceremonies are always so bittersweet.  The employees leaving us have put in countless hours in making LASD the great district it is and we are sad to see them go, but we hope they enjoy their retirement!  A list of the retiring employees being recognized can be found under agenda item D.4 using the above link.  

Randy Kenyon and the Citizens Advisory Committee for Finance (CACF) will present its Annual Report. This a discussion item and their presentation can be found under agenda item H.1. The overarching official duties of CACF is the oversight of the LASD's parcel tax expenditures, but CACF has morphed into so much more.  In their presentation, CACF warns the district that it should work on communicating to the district constituency just how much we rely on local revenue (property and parcel taxes). They also emphasize our capital expenses will continue to rise as our facilities age and that we should seriously consider apportioning Measure N funds to a maintenance fund.  

Sandra McGonagle will present the Local Control and Accountability Plan.  This is a discussion item and her presentation and supporting documentation can be found under agenda item H.2. Not only does her presentation go over how the district has done over 2017/18 year so far, but outlines plans for the 2018/19 school year.  Room for improvement for LASD includes further moving the needle on learning progression of low socioeconomic students and ELA students and better parent and community engagement with LASD.  

Randy will present the 2018/19 District Budget. This is a discussion item and his presentation and the entire budget can be found under agenda item H.3.  Randy will ask the board to approve the budget at the next board meeting.  I hope you enjoy reading the budget as much as I did.  

Randy asks that the board approve an Award of Contract for the Glass/Glazing for the Egan Roof Project.  This is an action item and a list of the bids and the recommended contractor can be found under agenda H.4.  With this approval the entire Egan Roof project is set to progress this summer.  

Randy requests the Board Authorize the Issuance of Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes (TRAN).  This is an action item and the resolution requested can be found under agenda item H.5.  These notes are are required every year to bridge the district funding of its budget before it received the county property tax revenues and parcel taxes. 

Jeff Baier will present Board Policy Updates recommended by the California School Boards Association (CSBA).  This is a discussion item and all the updates can be found under agenda item H.6.  These updates assure our Board policies are aligned with state law (be it statute or case law).  This round of updates enables those struggling with immigration status not to have to struggle with the LASD.
