G.-1 26-1700 Presentation to and discussion by Budget and Finance Committee, with the Deputy Superintendent, Business & Operations, or designee of 2026-2027 - 45-Day Budget Revision.
It is disappointing not to see more comprehensive numbers but I do understand that OUSD would like to present the most finalized numbers possible at the upcoming Board meeting. Here are some specific questions that I hope will be addressed. 1) When will the block grant funding (or some of it) be finalized, given that the school year is starting. 2) What will be the PUBLIC process for understanding how the block grant funding will be spent? 3) What does the $1340 AB602 rate mean for OUSD as a per ADA increase over 25-26? 4) What are new opportunities in ELOP, Facilities and Kitchen infrastructure? 5) What are new compliance issues on software and contracting? I hope the incoming one time funds will be substantially used for: attendance support (across the longest time period allowable), adoption of modernized software to replace any remaining homegrown software in use, and in collaboration with PSAC leaders to reinstitute their highest priorities for cancelled supports.
Apologies. I am just testing the system to better understand how it works. I have no comments.
