How the school's published LAUSD budget is built and what the accessible record shows. Part of Los Angeles Unified School District.
What drives Park Avenue's current budget?
Park Avenue Elementary is an LAUSD elementary school in Cudahy. LAUSD publishes school-specific allocation and budget summaries for its fund center 1600501. Those records show a plan that combines general, restricted, specially funded, and other funds; they are budget plans, not a record of actual spending.
Most resources are planned for staffing
The final FY 2026-27 summary assigns $3,631,561, or 71.59% of its $5,073,035 total, to positions. The report lists 27.85 position FTE.
Student need shapes restricted resources
The same report lists 224 low-income students, 68 English learners, and a 93.72% poverty rate. Its restricted and specially funded categories total $1,867,196, but the summary does not assign every dollar to a particular student group or program.
The forecast is not an enrollment count
The FY 2025-26 allocation used an ECast forecast of 222 and the FY 2026-27 budget lists 180 total enrollment. They are from different fiscal publications, so they should not be treated as an established enrollment trend.
A budget summary does not show whether a local council approved a particular choice, whether a position is filled, or what students experienced. It is the clearest accessible school-specific financial record, not a complete account of school governance.
What the public budget record shows
A planned total, not actual expenditures.
The summary lists position FTE; itinerant services appear separately.
The report says enrollment and demographic information reflects its most current data.
This earlier allocation reports 33.68 calculated FTE and excludes cafeteria budget; its format differs from FY 2026-27, so it is not presented as a like-for-like staffing change.
