• Enrollment decline– Charter Schools– Demographic Estimate Change
• State rate of funding change toward the 8 year target
• Emerging information on the Local Control Funding Formula and Special Education
• Shift in STRS rate of increase
EnrollmentDemographic Report
• New demographic study is incorporated in First Interim
• Previous report had growth of 1,348 students over the three year budget period of 2014-15 to 2016-17
• New report has growth of 208 students over that same period
• This growth is offset by Charter enrollment estimates
Charter School Estimate
• Three new charters entered the system after budget adoption and existing charter enrollment estimates were updated
• 2015-16 Enrollment decline estimate due to charters is 1,377 students
• 2016-17 Enrollment decline estimate due to charters 1,967 students
As enrollment declines are estimated the number of students qualified toward Supplemental/Concentration funding also declines.

Comparison of Adopted Budget Assumption vs First Interim Report
Revenue Changes
• State Formulas impact revenue changes– The amount of funding as a % toward the 8 year
full funding target has changed– Budget Adoption 2015-16 assumed District would
receive 33.95% toward the target– First Interim 2015-16 assumes 20.68%
• Base year funding assumptions for LCFF related to former EIA grant shifts funding between Base and Supplemental Concentration

is $270 million• The 2014-15 Estimated Funding $211 million

Multi Year ProjectionFirst Interim Report
Unrestricted General Fund

Multi Year Projection
• 2014-15– Will meet 6% reserve with a combination of
General and Special Reserve Funds• 2015-16
– Will meet 3% reserve in General Fund and 2.4% in Special Reserve Fund
• 2016-17– Will meet 3% reserve in General Fund and .70% in
Special Reserve Fund
• Assumptions Used for Multi-Year Projections
• Maintains….– Programs currently in place– Exception of Grad Tutors – to be reconsidered in 2015-16 LCAP
• Increases– Driven costs on formulary such as step and column– LCAP costs by $3.2 million in 2015-16– LCAP costs by $6.7 million in 2016-17– Maintenance funding $4.8 million in accordance with State requirement beginning
in 2015-16
• Decreases– 34 Teaching staff based on estimated decline in enrollment in 2015-16– 16 Teaching staff based on estimated decline in enrollment in 2016-17
Multi-Year Projection
Future Funding Estimates
• There is a higher level of volatility and risk in this funding model– Student Demographic Changes– Legislative Support must continue over time– Economic Stability and Growth
Expense Planning
• The District is deficit spending by an estimated $7.8 million as of First Interim
• Salary and Benefit Increases will be requested through bargaining
• Because of low funding over several years, demand is higher than the increased funding
• District must plan to reduce deficit spending

STRS Rates
Retirement System Costs
• The increased cost to fund retirement system contributions will be escalating between $2.5 and $3 million per year
• This is roughly equivalent to a 2% raise for all employees
• The District pays for over 2300 retiree health care plans for those employees who were in a vesting status and/or retired prior to 2010 the annual cost is $18 million, which rises based upon health care premium rates
Structural Deficit• Defined as having ongoing programs and
financial commitments for a given year that exceed that particular year’s revenue
• Ending Fund Balance or Special Reserve Funds can be used to address the deficit
19
• The Board needs to be aware of the use of one-time funds and prepare plans for reducing commitments as one-time funds are depleted
• 2014-15 the District has planned use of ending fund balance in the amount of $7.8 million
• 2015-16 the District has planned use of ending fund balance of $4.5 million plus Special Reserve of $4.3 million = $8.8 million
• 2016-17 the District has planned use of Special Reserve of $5.2 million
20
Structural Deficit
Reserves• 3% Reserve for Economic Uncertainty is the standard for a
District our size• Due to the risk of volatility in funding the Board adopted a 6%
reserve target with 3% in the General Fund and 3% in the Special Reserve fund
• With current revenue and expense assumptions that target will not be met in 2015-16 and 2016-17
• By way of comparison a monthly payroll cost this school year can be as much as $12.2 million
• A 3% reserve is $9.7 million
