Body
Background:
Education Code Section 42100 requires the District to submit an annual statement of all receipts and expenditures for all funds of the preceding fiscal year to the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) on or before September 15th.
Under Education Code Section 42132, the District must also adopt a resolution identifying an estimated appropriations limit for the current year and an actual appropriations limit for the preceding year. The so- called “Gann Initiative” places limits on the growth of expenditures for publicly funded programs.
Although the Gann Limit calculations are provided as part of the Unaudited Actuals Report, a specific resolution is required by statute.
Expected Outcomes:
The District’s statement of revenues and expenditures (Unaudited Actuals) for Fiscal Year 2024-25 shall be filed with the County Superintendent of Schools in compliance with Education Code 42100. The budget beginning balance for the current fiscal year (2025-26) shall be updated based on the Unaudited Actuals report.
The adopted Gann Limit Resolution shall be presented to the public.
Board Options and Consequences:
Board approval and filing of the Unaudited Actuals Report and the adoption of the Gann Limit Resolution are statutorily mandated.
A “Yes” vote, would allow the District to comply with the requirements of Ed Code by submitting the required report and resolution.
A “No” vote, shall cause the District to be non- compliant with the requirements of Ed Code.
Policy Implications:
None.
Budget Impact:
Fiscal Year 2025-26 carryover balances for schools and offices shall be adjusted based on updated actual ending balances from the prior fiscal year and in accordance with current carryover policies.

Issues and Analysis:
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, the District was able to meet its financial commitments and required ending balances, as set forth in the District’s Budget and Finance Policy. The Unaudited Actuals resulted in a General Fund unassigned balance of $2,011 million, which is $96 million higher than projected in Estimated Actuals. This shall be considered in the Budget for fiscal year 2025-26.
The Fiscal Stabilization Plan will be updated at first interim to account for the $96 million. Additionally, the Unaudited Actuals reflect the Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) original assumptions included in the adopted 2025-26 Budget. The updated OPEB assumption changes presented at budget adoption on June 24, 2025, will also be reflected at first interim. Additionally, the Classroom Expense Actuals (CEA) form includes manual adjustments beyond the automated adjustments to more accurately reflect the percentage of District classroom expenditures. The District shall continue to monitor spending and explore strategies to maximize revenues and maintain a balanced budget.
