District overview
Funding, student outcomes and current official plans.
The district describes California LCFF base funding by grade level, added funding for English learners, low-income pupils and foster youth, and concentration funding above the qualifying pupil threshold. The county reviewed 17,587 projected average daily attendance for 2026–27, down 0.8% from certified 2025–26 P-2 ADA. It called flat attendance forecasts for the following two years optimistic and recommended a contingency plan.
The county approved 2026–27 funding plans while forecasting unrestricted General Fund gaps of $19.7 million in 2026–27, $12.1 million in 2027–28 and $11 million in 2028–29. Positive fund balances and adequate cash are consistent with spending more than current unrestricted income.
Five trustees elected by trustee area govern the district with Superintendent Gordon Amerson. They set policy, approve the budget and oversee district operations. The county superintendent separately reviews the annual budget and LCAP.
The county commends gains in literacy and college/career readiness. The 2025 Dashboard shows a 95.1% graduation rate, 57.4% college/career preparedness and 49.7% career-technical sequence completion. Chronic absenteeism was 24.1%, with large gaps for foster youth, students experiencing homelessness and students with disabilities.
The county discourages new recurring commitments without offsets and asks the district to address structural gaps. Its approval letter does not enact layoffs, school closures or service reductions.
The county approved the budget, projected adequate cash and reported no fiscal-distress study or audit submitted for consideration. Forecast deficits should not be described as a present cash crisis.
