Plan for Improved Student Achievement

San Diego Unified School District’s Plan for Improved Student Achievement is the result of an inclusive process and
describes the District’s strategic, results-oriented approach to making gains in student performance District-wide.
Implementation of this plan is monitored on a quarterly basis to assess progress towards measurable goals, identify bar-
riers and make adjustments accordingly.
Background
For the past decade, San Diego Unified School District has focused on increasing teachers’ and administrators’ content and instruc-
tional knowledge in literacy and mathematics while developing instructional leadership among principals and teacher leaders. As a
result of this focus, the District has seen improvement in student achievement in these areas. From 2005 to 2010, the District has
improved from 42.6 percent to 53.0 percent proficient or advanced on the California Standards Test (CST) in English language arts.
In mathematics, the District has improved from 38.0 percent proficient or advanced to 46.2 percent. The charts below document
overall performance on the CSTs from 2005 to 2009.

Discussion
While gains in student performance have been realized, progress has not been fast enough, and substantial gaps still exist. Studies
show that students who are not proficient in reading by the third grade often have difficulties acquiring average levels of reading
fluency later on; in other words, reading becomes an ongoing struggle. According to the 2009 CST, only 48.2 percent of third-grad-
ers are proficient or advanced in English language arts. Even more troubling, while 73.4 percent of white students and 63.4 percent
of Asian students score at proficient or above in third grade, only 30.2 percent of Hispanic students and 40.3 percent of African
American students achieve these levels. The District must ensure that all students reach proficiency by third grade for students to be
successful in later years.

Progression
Early outcomes correlate to success in high school. For example, failure during 9th grade is directly linked to the possibility that a stu-
dent will drop out before graduation (Neild, et al., 2001), but in San Diego Unified School District, only 62 percent of students are
considered “on track” by the end of 9th grade1*, putting 38 percent of the District’s 9th-graders at risk of dropping out. In 2006, 15
percent of students dropped out before graduating from high school. The dropout rate is even higher for Latino students (19 per-
cent) and African American students (18 percent). This is troubling because in today’s global economy, most jobs require at least
some post-secondary education. In other words, student achievement is about far more than test scores; it is about life outcomes.
The District must ensure that all of San Diego Unified School District students graduate with the preparation to go on to college.
There is much the District can do to accelerate gains in student performance in every school. These efforts must start with a simple,
shared belief: all students can and will succeed if they are all held to high expectations and are given the individualized support they
need to get there. All students must be taught an engaging, rigorous, standards-based instructional program, but teaching it isn’t
enough. Students must also receive the customized supports they need along the way to ensure that they learn. This requires that
District educators know their individual students well enough to build upon their strengths and strategically address their struggles.
The District’s over-arching goal is to improve student achievement and close all existing achievement gaps by providing an engaging,
rigorous, standards-based instructional program coupled with strategic supports for all students. The focus areas and strategies out-
lined in this document are aimed at helping the people who work directly with District students achieve this over-arching goal.
Theory of Action
Every district ought to be guided by a theory of improvement, or theory of action, that delineates its beliefs about how to engage in
district-wide improvement aimed at desired outcomes. San Diego Unified School District’s theory of action is based on an approach
that requires consistency on the “what,” and consistency of use of best practices on the “how.” Specific practices at schools may
vary depending upon the needs of each school site. This approach honors and respects the expertise and experience that reside in
District schools without compromising the District’s over-arching goal.
The role of the central office is primarily to provide a consistent vision based on best practices in the field along with an integrated,
system-wide support of instruction to schools based on identified priorities aimed at raising student achievement and closing
achievement gaps. District priorities are based on needs identified by data, input from our schools/best practices for schools, and
1.* A student is “on track” if he or she has accumulated a minimum of 10 credits, has at least a 2.0 grade point average, and has passed English 1,2.
research on best practices. Implementation of District-wide strategies that address these priorities are regularly adjusted and refined
based on data and ongoing feedback from schools.
The central office works to strengthen school-level ability to carry out proven practices while encouraging schools to innovate based
on their particular student populations. The central office provides support as needs arise. To accomplish this, the District establishes
structures and processes for teachers, schools and central office staff to learn from one another about effective site-based practices.
Most importantly, this model requires a continuous interaction between the central office and schools that is based on respect and
trust, allowing for central office and school staff to hold each other accountable for results and benefit from what each constituency
brings to the table.
Focus Areas
In order to accelerate student performance, the District has identified the following inter-related, high-priority focus areas:
1. High Expectations for All

2. Standards-Based Curriculum and Instruction
3. Purposeful, Timely Use of Data
4. Strategic Support
5. Ongoing, Site-Based Professional Learning
While these focus areas are not flashy or new, teachers, principals and central office leaders in the District believe that if these efforts
are pursued with thoughtfulness and determination, the goals will be reached and students will benefit. Not only will these focus
areas allow the District to prioritize its work, making sure that resources are focused on the critical actions necessary to raise student
achievement and narrow achievement gaps, it also will guide the elimination over time of any practices that may actually widen
gaps.
1. High Expectations for All
San Diego Unified School District teachers, principals and central office staff share a belief in the promotion of a
culture of high expectations if students are to succeed. This belief is substantiated by research that demonstrates
the critical importance of high expectations for students and adults alike (Chenoweth, 2007; Williams et al.,
2005). Results gained are often directly linked to expectations held. Practices that foster a culture of high expecta-
tions include students with disabilities in general education classrooms, the elimination of tracking, the expecta-
tion that all students take college prep course work and the establishment of measurable goals for improvement
at the District, school and classroom levels.
Goal: To raise student achievement and close achievement gaps, the District will promote a culture of high expec-
tations. Specific actions include:
• Use of a Standards-Based Report Card (SBRC) in all elementary schools.
• A promotion/retention policy focused on systematic intervention.
• The establishment of Strategic, Measurable, Attainable, Results-oriented and Time-bound (SMART)

goals at every school and grade level/department team.
• Collaborate with the office of College, Career, and Technical Education to develop and implement high
school course pathways that prepare all students to be successful in college and career.
2. Standards-Based Curriculum and Instruction
Ensuring access for all students to engaging, rigorous, standards-based curricula in all areas is essential if the Dis-
trict is to realize significant gains in student achievement (Oakes, 2003; Haycock & Huang, 2001; Massell, 2000).
Success requires that teachers receive support on both what and how to teach. San Diego Unified School District
principals and teachers plan to continue strengthening their curriculum while improving the repertoire of instruc-
tional strategies that allow them to meet the needs of all students.
Goal: To raise student achievement and close achievement gaps, the District will ensure students have access to
standards-based curricula in all content areas. Specific actions include:
• Identification of a foundational set of instructional strategies that define good teaching at San Diego
Unified School District.
• Development and implementation of common standards-based curricula and curriculum-embedded

assessments for grades K-12 that are linked to state-approved, District-adopted instructional
materials, including curriculum for English as a Second Language (ESL) courses.
3. Purposeful, Timely Use of Data
According to research on best practices in urban districts, the timely use of data to inform instruction is critical
(Togneri & Anderson, 2003; Massell, 2000). Without data, it is very difficult to appropriately diagnose student
needs. A comprehensive assessment system ought to allow educators to identify students’ strengths and weak-
nesses to plan appropriate instruction, monitor students’ progress towards meeting academic standards, guide
placement and promotion/retention decisions, assess the effectiveness of particular instructional strategies or pro-
grams and provide data that can be communicated to parents and community members (Kellough, et al., 1999;
McREL, 2002). Through the full implementation of the Data Director system, San Diego Unified School District
principals and teachers will receive more fine-grained, useful information, timely access to the data, and training
on how to use the data to inform instruction.
San Diego Unified School District Assessment System 2010-11:

Assessment tests ensure students are on the right track, meeting state academic standards and performing at
grade level. Assessment tests assist teachers in making beneficial changes in instruction. An educational profes-
sional must be able to effectively evaluate students’ progress and knowledge of the subjects being taught. A
teacher must be able to assess how a student learns and if the teaching methods are effective. Many processes
and procedures must be used to gather data. Testing is one of the many ways to assess students’ progress and
gather data. San Diego Unified School District students take a variety of tests throughout the school year. Some
tests are mandated by federal, state and district requirements. Others are required to sample student perfor-
mance across the country, and some tests are voluntary. These assessments provide information about student
performance in relation to standards. Tests enable the District to evaluate student academic achievement within
and across schools, grade levels and student populations. Use of San Diego Unified School District assessment
data at the central office, school site and classroom levels supports instruction and programmatic decisions.
The following charts show the District’s current assessment system:

4. Strategic Support
Successful school districts provide additional support to students and schools that need it most. Data can be
helpful for identifying particular needs, however educators must identify and implement focused, timely and
monitored interventions for students and schools that are not progressing. San Diego Unified School District prin-
cipals and teachers need more guidance in three critical areas: 1) guidance in working with English language
learners and to support English learners who are not on track; 2) intervention for students having difficulty with
reading and math, including students with disabilities; and 3) improved support for schools in Program Improve-
ment.
Goal: To raise student achievement and close achievement gaps, the District will ensure that all students and
schools receive the strategic support they need to accelerate learning. Specific actions include:
• Establishment of a system of interventions at every school to ensure early and appropriate intervention
for students struggling with literacy and mathematics.
• Identification of recommended intervention instructional materials for English language arts and
mathematics K-12.
5. Ongoing, Site-Based Professional Learning
San Diego Unified School District principals and teachers desire effective, site-based professional development
that is relevant and integrated into teachers’ daily work and provides time for teachers to work collaboratively on
the identification and implementation of practices that support identified student needs. Research shows that
effective professional development is standards-based and curriculum-centered, relevant and connected to teach-
ers’ daily work, sustained and ongoing, collaborative and inquiry-driven, focused on both content area knowl-
edge and pedagogy and integrated into the everyday work of teachers (Corcoran, 1995; Darling-Hammond and
McLaughlin, 1995; Elmore, 2002; Neufeld and Roper, 2003; Sparks and Hirsh, 2000). This type of ongoing, site-
based professional development enables teachers to continually learn together about how to meet the needs of
individual students.
Goal: To raise student achievement and close achievement gaps, the District will provide support to schools in
providing site-based opportunities for continual learning with the support of identified teacher leaders. Specific
actions include:
• Professional development for principals and instructional leadership teams on the development of
professional learning communities in their schools (which includes facilitation of collaboration time,
data analysis and collaborative inquiry into best instructional practices).
• Professional development for teachers on a foundational set of instructional strategies deemed

essential in every classroom.
Conclusion
This document represents the central core of what San Diego Unified School District will do in the years immediately ahead to sup-
port curriculum and instruction within its schools. If the District carries out these interrelated critical actions with quality, tenacity
and determination – holding high expectations for all, providing excellent curriculum and instruction in every subject, using timely
data to monitor student progress and intervene when necessary, and supporting the continuous learning of the adults who work
with our students – student performance will improve dramatically. More San Diego Unified School District students will learn how
to read, write and think critically, graduate from high school, have the option of attending college, and ultimately, enjoy improved
life outcomes.

Collective Bargaining
Context
Pursuant to the California Educational Employee Relations Act, all school district employees, with the exception of confidential
employees, have certain organizational and representational rights. The law provides employees with the right to organize; to bar-
gain collectively through representatives of their choosing with respect to wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employ-
ment; and to engage in lawful concerted activities that flow out of the right to organize.
San Diego Unified Labor Relations Department represents the District’s Board of Education in collective bargaining with its employ-
ees.
Employees of San Diego Unified are organized into seven individual units governed by collective bargaining. Managerial and supervi-
sory employees who are exempt from the classified and certificated supervisory bargaining units, and confidential employees are
governed by a “Meet and Confer” Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that is attained through meeting and conferring with
representatives of these employees.
Substitute employees, short-term employees and part-time playground positions are not considered part of the classified service of
San Diego Unified, pursuant to 45103 of the California Education Code
Policy
Collective bargaining agreements may also serve as policy statements. The most recent agreements maintained and/or expanded the
District’s ability to fulfill its obligations and commitment to improving student performance and provided equitable adjustments to
total compensation (wages and health and welfare benefits) consistent with the District’s values, the District’s ability to pay now and
in the future, and local, state and federal economic realities.

Financial Impact
There will be a five day work year reduction in the 2010-11 school year and in the 2011-12 school year. Salary savings will benefit
General Fund by reducing current budget deficit in 2010-11 and 2011-12. Furlough restoration and a 2 percent salary increase on
July 1, 2012, followed by a 2 percent salary increase on January 1, 2013 and a 3 percent salary increase on June 30, 2013 are antic-
ipated to be funded with restored revenue limits. The expectation is that the California economy will have improved enough so that
the deficit factor will be reduced. In the event the economy has not sufficiently recovered to restore revenue limits, assumptions will
have to be analyzed to action layoffs to close the budget gap.

Summary Budget | Assumptions and Priorities
Assumptions and Priorities

A Message from the Interim Chief Financial Officer and the Director of Budget Development:
The 2010-11 Budget establishes the Superintendent’s recommended allocations and spending priorities for the coming
fiscal year. Upon adoption by the Board of Education this Budget will be the District’s financial operating plan for the
2010-11 fiscal year.
The information describing the District’s financial condition is based on 2009-10 projected ending balances and 2010-
11 revenue and expenditure assumptions. Revenue assumptions are based on the May 2010 Revision of the Gover-
nor’s budget.
The District has fourteen (14) Funds:
• One Operating Fund
• Seven Special Revenue Funds
• Four Capital Projects Funds
• One Debt Service Fund
• One Proprietary (Self-Insurance) Fund
All Funds in the 2010-11 Budget are balanced.
The General Fund, the District's largest fund, covers the operating costs of the District's education programs. The Budget anticipates
the following levels of 2010-11 General Fund revenues expenditures for regular and specially funded programs:
General Fund
Amount
(in millions)
Beginning Balances $ 101.99
Income $1,053.47
Transfers In $ 10.08
Total Sources $1,165.54
Estimated Expenditures $1,113.19

Transfers Out $ 6.76
Designated Balances $ 45.59
Total Uses $1,165.54
NET SURPLUS/(DEFICIT) $ -
Factors Included in the 2010-11 Budget
The collapse of state revenue resulting from the national recession continues to plague K-12 funding. The state’s budget situation
continues to worsen. Anticipated dollars from the federal government included in the January proposal have been less then fore-
casted. Revenue projections were higher than expected in the spring and were offset by less than anticipated income tax revenues
received in April.
The May Revise for the most part protected education from further reductions. Impacts to K-12 were relatively the same as reported
in January’s proposed budget. Child-care and social and health programs that benefit K-12 education programs received significant
reductions. The revised Budget gap at the state level is projected to be at $19.1 billion. The Governor proposes to reduce this gap
without raising taxes. Solutions include $12.4 billion in cuts, $3.4 billion in additional federal funds and $3.4 billion in borrowing
fund shifts, asset sales and surcharges.
Typically, ongoing sources must cover cost increases in areas such as salary schedule step and column movement of employees,
health and welfare benefits, fuel, utilities, contractual requirements, new school openings, inflation and any new initiatives. The
reduction in revenues does not allow the District to fully fund its priorities and has required significant reductions in its education
programs.
District low-range enrollment forecasts used for budget allocations are expected to decline by 1,700 compared to last year’s
adopted Budget. Enrollment was budgeted at 118,372 in fiscal year 2009-10 and for 2010-11 the mid-range projection is 116,639.
Revenue limit in 2009-10 decreased from the original budget by $4.2 million as a result of decreased enrollments. Attendance
incentives continue in 2010-11 and have helped to mitigate the loss in Average Daily Attendance (ADA).
Apportionment Deferrals
The state continues to defer apportionments to help with its cash flow problems. Principal apportionments are deferred from Febru-
ary to July. April is partially deferred until August. May is partially deferred until August. The net impact of these deferrals for the
District is $58 million deferred in 2009-10 and $72 million in 2010-11.
Mandate Reimbursement
The Governor’s May revise fully funds only two mandates. These mandates are the CAHSEE and the Intra/Inter-District Transfers. For
operational purposes, we continue to track and submit reimbursement claims for the unfunded mandates, as school districts con-
tinue to be required to provide these services.
Restricted Resources
Categorical resources were reduced in 2010-11 by a negative COLA of .38 percent. The state continues to provide Tier III flexibility.
Categorical programs were grouped in tiers:
• Tier I – No Reduction, No Flexibility.
• Tier II- Funding Reduction, No Flexibility.
• Tier III- Funding Reduction and Flexibility awarded to use as unrestricted funds. Forty-two programs in this tier became
unrestricted funds in fiscal years 2008-09 through 2012-13.
The 2010-11 Budget also includes the following flexibilities given by the state:
• K-3 Class Size Reduction (CSR) relaxed penalty.
• Textbook Adoption- Timelines for implementation of state board-approved textbooks have been extended.
• Routine Restricted Maintenance – The state match for deferred maintenance was included in Tier III of the categorical funding
group, allowing the District to use these funds for any educational purpose.
• Reserve For Economic Uncertainty – Remains at the same level. The District’s required reserve is 2 percent and is fully budgeted.
Federal Resources
In February 2009 President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). This law provided an estimated $6
billion to support California K-12 education programs. This is one-time funding to offset state funding reductions. Approximately
$3.6 billion will be provided to school districts based on existing funding formula grants. The District will receive approximately $52
million from the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund (SFSF), $28.1 million in Special Education (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
– IDEA) Stimulus Funding and $31.8 million in Title I ARRA funds. The District has planned to use the remaining SFSF dollars in
2010-11 to pay for the second year payment of the Early Retirement Incentive Program (SERP) and counseling and teaching posi-
tions. The balance of the Title I ARRA dollars will be used to continue the second and final year of the 16.5:1 CSR at specific Title I
elementary schools.
Regular federal education funding remains virtually unchanged from 2009-10. The Title I, Part A budget, will provide approximately
$42 million annually to the District in 2010-11. Approximately $15 million of Title I basic will be used to provide counseling and
graduation coaching support at Title I schools. For those schools that are not Title I, federal restricted stimulus dollars will be used to
fund the balance of these positions. Funding for IDEA has decreased slightly. Most other federal programs are either unchanged or
decreased from 2009-10. Reductions in the federal budget will negatively impact some of our most at-risk students.
Revenue Limits
The Revenue limit continues to be adjusted for a deficit factor of 18.355 percent. In 2010-11 the District received an additional
reduction of 3.85 percent, or $245.32, per ADA. This additional deficit factor results in a loss of revenue of $27 million. A fully
funded revenue limit per ADA is $6,372. The revised 2009-10 and 2010-11 base revenue limit, the District’s largest single funding
source, will be $4,954 and $4,957 respectively per unit of ADA. Total loss of revenue limit is $155.82 million for 2010-11.
Beginning Balances
The 2010-11 General Fund beginning balance reflects the ending balances of the 2009-10 fiscal year. When the District closes its fis-
cal year accounting records on June 30 the General Fund ending balances becomes the beginning balance for the next fiscal year.
This figure is projected at $101.99 million in 2009-10.
The majority of the ending balance is committed to specific purposes: $22.93 million is set aside for Economic Uncertainties,
$20.08 million is Restricted Grant Carryover and $2.58 million is limited to statue or District policy.
The District’s Budget and Finance Policy requires an adequate ending balance be maintained. This is of crucial importance to the Dis-
trict’s credit rating, which impacts the interest rate we must pay on debt instruments such as Tax Revenue Anticipation Notes
(TRANs) and General Obligation Bonds (GO Bonds). By law the District is required to maintain a 2 percent Reserve for Economic
Uncertainties.
The Budget includes over $104 million in reductions previously approved by the Board of Education, comprised of reductions in Gen-
eral Fund unrestricted and “Tier III Categorical” resources which are now treated as unrestricted resources.
The Budget assumes continuation of most 2009-10 programs with the addition of approved changes for 2010-11. The Budget also
includes an assumption of a five-day furlough for all employee groups. The five-day furlough will continue for the 2011-12 fiscal
year, to be reinstated in 2012-13. The Budget fully funds the statutory 2 percent Reserve for Economic Uncertainties.
The Budget reflects cost reductions, use of one-time federal ARRA stimulus funds to balance the Budget and categorical flexibility
provided by the state budget act.
Short Term Fiscal Issues:
• Collective Bargaining: All collective bargaining agreements have been settled. The new contracts will expire on June 30, 2013.
These contracts agree to a five-day furlough, increased co-pay for health and welfare from $5 to $10, elimination of dual-spouse
health and welfare benefit coverage, dependent healthcare coverage audit, and $100 monthly payments for those employee’s
spouses who accept cash payment to forego accepting benefits by their employer. In return, employees will receive a salary
increase of 2 percent on June 1, 2012, 2 percent on Jan 1, 2013 and 3 percent on June 30, 2013. State law mandates that the
District calculate the ongoing cost of all collective bargaining agreements, and demonstrate to the San Diego County Office of
Education (SDCOE) that it can absorb these costs and still maintain a positive ending balance for the budget year and two
subsequent years.
• Textbook Needs: Adoptions will be postponed in 2010-11 and 2011-12.
• School Bus Replacement: The District school bus fleet is aging. Maintenance costs have increased annually. Over 300 busses are
over nine years old and should be replaced. The annual allocation of $1 million from the General Fund to the Pupil Bus
Replacement Funds were cut from the Budget in 2009-10 and 2010-11 to address the budget shortfall in the General Fund. The
District has purchased 75 buses for an estimated $7.2 million from Capital Funds.
• Routine Restricted Maintenance: Flexibility in the Budget continues to allow districts to reduce the required contributions into
routine restricted maintenance accounts from 3 percent of General Fund expenditures to zero percent through 2012-13.
Ongoing major repair will be funded from Capital Funds.
• Deferred Maintenance: The Governor’s May Revision continues to provide the same funding level for the state portion of the
deferred maintenance program as the January Budget Proposal. The funding may be used for any educational purpose and
school agencies are not required to match the funding level due to the flexibility provided through 2012-13.
• Lottery Funds: The Legislature enacted AB 142 increasing school district’s share of Lottery revenues by 3 percent, from 34 percent
to 37 percent. The projections for the 2010-11 fiscal year are estimated at the same level. Based on this estimate the rates are
$111 per annual ADA for unrestricted funding and $14.50 per annual ADA for Proposition 20 restricted funding.
Long Term Fiscal Issues:
• The economic outlook of the state continues to deteriorate. Sources have projected continued decline in state revenues in fiscal
years 2010-11 and 2011-12. If the state cannot balance its books through increased revenue, the District will face additional
budget reductions in the coming years. The Budget deficits in fiscal years 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11 devastated K-12
education in California.
• The District’s use of one-time federal ARRA funding to support programs must be addressed in 2011-12 when the funding goes
away.
• State categorical programs are underfunded and the situation was exacerbated by the cuts in 2008-09 and 2009-10.
• The categorical flexibility provisions will expire in 2012-13. The future use of resources that have become unrestricted in
2009-10 is unknown at this time. Backfilling the hole when the flexibility expires will be a significant problem for the District
in fiscal year 2012-13.
• The Special Education program is underfunded. The District Budget includes $116 million of unrestricted resources and over
$1 million of other categorical resources to augment Special Education revenues received from both the state and federal
governments to provide the required services to students with special needs.
• Employee raises will become effective in 2012-13 at the same time the majority of our flexibility is eliminated. In addition, the 3
percent raise is greater then the forecasted COLA of 2.40 percent in fiscal year 2012-13.
• Health and welfare benefit costs also continue to grow faster than the COLA. In 2010-11 this is an added challenge since the
COLA is negative and funded and the revenue limit is reduced by the 18.355 percent and 3.85 percent deficit factors.
• Cost of textbooks and other instructional supplies continue to increase.
• Fuel and utilities costs continue to rise.
The final 2010-11 Budget is balanced. However, the 2011-12 and 2012-13 Budgets indicate negative balances. In order to balance
the 2011-12 negative balances the District needs to implement $127 million of reductions. For 2012-13 the District will be required
to reduce $70 million of reductions. These figures assume that all cuts will be ongoing in nature. If one-time solutions are imple-
mented, it will require further reductions in the out-years in order to resolve the negative balances. This structural problem in the
District must be addressed to keep the District in sound financial condition.

Phil Stover

Appendix B: GFOA Budget Standards

The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) believes that no single document is more important to a government than its
annual operating budget. Your San Diego Unified School District believes that the budget is equally important to the people it serves.
For that reaso,n and in the interest of full transparency as directed by the Board of Education, the San Diego Unified School District
Budget Team developed the first-ever 2008-09 Budget Book and District Profile in keeping with GFOA recommendations presented
in the 2006 GFOA publication, Preparing a High Quality Budget Document, written by John Fishbein. The publication explicates 27
rating criteria utilized in determining outstanding budget documents.
The GFOA explains that a comprehensive budget serves four unique roles. It functions as a: 1) policy document; 2) financial plan; 3)
financial operations guide; and 4) communications tool. The well-respected organization presents recommendations in accordance
with each of the four functions, some of which are considered mandatory to qualify for a GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation
Award.
We have endeavored to meet all mandatory recommendations as well as salient non-mandatory recommendations. Although we
aim to earn a GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, our larger goal is to earn the respect and trust of our community.

Appendix C: An Overview of District Funding in California

Prior to the early 1970s, public schools' major source of funding derived from local property taxes, with rates set by school boards,
officials or voters. School district funding varied widely, depending upon the relative property wealth of the surrounding community.
Beginning in the 1970s, courts in California and many other states ruled to eradicate wealth-related differentials in school funding.
As a result of actions taken to reduce the disparity in funding, today, California schools receive the majority of funding from the
state. Now, in California, the state largely determines revenue levels. Each district has a revenue limit: the per-pupil amount it
receives for general purposes. This revenue limit comprises most of its General Fund revenues.
Revenue limit income is a combination of local property taxes and state funds. The state calculates the precise revenue limit for each
school district based on its historical funding level and a set of adjustments, such as the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). A district
has no control over its revenue limit amount. Simply put, a district multiplies its revenue limit (per-pupil amount) by its projected
average daily attendance (ADA) to determine its total general purpose funding. In providing this funding for each district, the state
first applies the local property taxes designated by law for that district. The difference between those taxes and the amount due is
covered with state funds.
In addition to having the state determine funding via revenue limits based in part on property taxes, other money derives from
income tax revenue and sales tax revenue. Since income and sales taxes are volatile revenue sources that may fluctuate widely as the
economy rises and falls, California school districts may be confronted with dramatic cyclical funding variations.
Districts also face the challenge of state control on funds they do receive. The Governor and Legislature's vote on the state Budget
Act determine how state funds may be spent, giving them control over the ability of local districts to utilize funding to meet students'
specific needs. Approximately 60 percent of funds are general purpose, with the remaining 40 percent restricted to specific pur-
poses, such as special education, low-income and other categories of students and needs.
Adding to the two challenges of dramatic cyclical funding variations and state-restricted funds is a third challenge: Boards of educa-
tion are constrained in their ability to raise taxes independently of the state. Bond issues are usually limited to building programs and
require a 55-percent vote for passage. Parcel tax measures require a two-thirds majority vote.
Here is a brief chronological summary of some past legislation and court rulings that have had a major impact on educational fund-
ing in California. Much of the following information is taken from the State Funding of Education website and EdSource, as expli-
cated by the Los Angeles Unified School District.

and per-pupil expenditures should be equalized. It further rules 1979
that, by1980, the difference in per-pupil revenue limits must be
less than $100. Proposition 4 (AKA Gann Limit): The passage of Prop. 4 creates a
constitutional limit on government spending at every level,

Assembly Bill 65: In response to Serrano v. Priest, the Legislature 1983
passes AB 65 to create an annual inflation adjustment based on
a sliding scale to equalize revenue limits over time. Senate Bill 813: This bill provides additional money to school dis-
