School overview
Van Ness Avenue Elementary
What the accessible school-level record shows about funding and local decision-making. Part of Los Angeles Unified School District.
Who makes school-level decisions?
Van Ness Avenue Elementary is an LAUSD K-5 school. LAUSD's directory identifies fund center 1742501 and lists Principal Regina Ramos. The school-level budget is set within LAUSD's funding rules. School Site Council, Local School Leadership Council, ELAC, and principal updates are the records most likely to explain local decisions, but no current school-specific archive for them was available through the accessible sources reviewed.
A district board governs the school
Van Ness is in LAUSD Board District 4. The public directory identifies the school but does not provide school-level board decisions.
The accessible record is financial
Nine monthly FY 2025-26 CM0 budget summaries and the FY 2025-26 allocation summary were collected for the school's fund center.
Council and principal records are a gap
No trailing-year SSC, LSLC, ELAC, or durable principal-update archive was found in the accessible school-specific sources. This does not show that those groups did not meet.
Budget snapshots need careful reading
The monthly CM0 publications are successive snapshots of one fiscal-year budget. They are not compared here with PR0, FN1, or final-budget versions, which describe different stages.
A thin online record is not evidence that the school is not planning or communicating with families. It only means the accessible official sources do not let families verify those local discussions in detail.
What is on the public record
The allocation summary lists 43.00 FTE, ECast 215, SENI Quintile 4 (LOW), and Norm Category PHBAO. It says carryover estimates may change after year-end adjustments.
This is a monthly FY 2025-26 CM0 snapshot, not actual spending and not a final budget. It includes cafeteria and non-school funds, unlike some allocation presentations.
This is the count displayed by the budget publication, not an independently verified enrollment report.
The official directory provided budget links but no current council or principal-record archive; the school site was not collected because LAUSD's lausd.org hosts are technically blocked for this workflow.

LAUSD school budget summaries and allocation process
The accessible record does not state which local council discussion or decision, if any, accompanied these central budget publications.
All 10 collected official LAUSD documents were reviewed chronologically: nine monthly CM0 budget snapshots (August 2025 through April 2026) and one FY 2025-26 allocation summary. The snapshots were treated as like-for-like fiscal-year records only; no PR0, FN1, or final-budget comparison was used.
