LCFF ADVANTAGES &
DISADVANTAGES
FINDINGS FROM ADMINISTRATORS ABOUT LCFF

Chief Business Officer, Assistant Director, Board Member/Finance Chair

Advantages of this year’s LCFF and Budget

◦The LCFF is viewed as an overall positive as

funding is tied to the student
◦This year the federal influx of $3,000,000 has
offset the lar cuts faced early in the summer
◦The LCFF supplemental concentration grants
helps provide for high needs students which is a
large population of our students
Disadvantages of this year’s LCFF and Budget

◦High School Students get a higher funding

amount and we have more middle school
students
◦Deferrals and reserves – we don’t have the
same access as a district would
Budget Priorities

◦$11,000,000 in salary and benefits

◦$4,100,000 in operating expenses
◦$2,200,000 in student supplies
Budget Priorities

◦20% of school receive special education

services
◦Services for Sped have increased due to
ERHMS and outside service providers for items
we would normally do –Initial Assessments
◦Using agency contractors for Special
Education due to lack of teachers in field
statewide
 CLOSING THOUGHTS

• This year due to reserves and influx from federal government the school will make
priorities of learning and COVID
• One of next year’s budget concern with LCFF while we are still expanding is with the
increasing cost of salary and benefits
