School overview
Kentwood Elementary
Who governs Kentwood, what its public budget record shows, and what remains unavailable online. Part of Los Angeles Unified School District.
Who makes decisions for Kentwood?
Kentwood Elementary is governed by the elected Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education, not by a separate school board. The public school record identifies it as Board District 4. School Site Council and ELAC are the school-level bodies named in the SPSA process, but the collected public evaluation does not include their minutes or recommendations.
The school budget is set in district systems
LAUSD's reports list Kentwood under fund center 1471201, so its staffing and spending record is published as a district budget snapshot rather than as a school-board agenda.
The school is in the lowest SENI quintile
The FY 2025-26 allocation summary places Kentwood in Student Equity Need Index Quintile 5, labelled LOWEST. LAUSD says SENI funds are intended for improved or increased services for low-income students, English learners, and foster youth.
School-level council records are not in the available public record
The SPSA evaluation says schools must keep SSC and ELAC agendas, minutes, and sign-ins, but the public form contains no completed school-specific answers and the archive-plan link now requires authentication.
The lack of online minutes does not show that the councils did not meet or make recommendations. It only means this public source set cannot establish their discussion, votes, or conclusions.

Includes general education, special day class, and pre-K special day class enrollment.
A monthly fiscal-year 2026-27 snapshot; it is not a per-pupil calculation.
