What accessible school budget and facilities records show about Kester. Part of Los Angeles Unified School District.

Who makes decisions for Kester?

An LAUSD elementary school with a limited accessible school-level record

Los Angeles Unified School District governs Kester Avenue Elementary. The accessible records identify a school budget under fund center 1472601 and a district facilities project. Kester's rendered school site identifies an ELAC page, but it exposed no current documents; no accessible trailing-year SSC, LSLC, ELAC-minutes, principal-letter, or recurring school-update archive was found.

District governance

LAUSD, not a separate Kester board, controls district policy and the school budget process.

School-level budget

The FY 2026-27 summary lists $10.35 million in planned resources for fund center 1472601; this is a planned school budget, not actual spending or all district services.

Local advisory record

Kester's official site links to ELAC, but the rendered page had no open current document links. This does not show that ELAC, SSC, or LSLC did not meet.

A sparse accessible archive is evidence about public retrieval, not evidence that the school lacks family communications or local council activity.
