District overview
Campbell Union High School District
Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.
How is the district funded, governed, and planning for enrollment change?
Campbell Union High School District is governed by a five-member elected Board of Trustees, which adopts the budget and curriculum, manages facilities, and hires the superintendent. Its operating budget follows California’s Local Control Funding Formula, with property-tax growth, attendance and student-need factors shaping revenue; School Site Councils separately recommend campus improvement plans and site-level priorities.
Local property revenue shapes the budget
The district's 2026–27 workshop assumed 5.5% property-tax growth but still projected a $4.4 million unrestricted deficit.
Measure P drives the next facilities cycle
The board adopted a districtwide implementation plan after gathering school-site, staff, student, parent, and community feedback.
Enrollment is expected to fall
The January projection put 2026–27 enrollment at 8,191, down 160, with continued decline over six years.
School councils make local recommendations
Current school-level records show councils reviewing achievement plans and budgets that are later approved by the district board.
The $4.4 million figure was a May workshop projection; the later adopted budget incorporated updated agreements and one-time restricted funds, so later interim reports may change the outlook.
Where the district stands
January 15 board minutes; down 160 students.
