Dear School Business Officials,
The Capitol Advisors Group is presenting their May Revision Budget Perspectives Workshop on May 26 at 9 a.m. for Santa Barbara County. The workshop will be held in person at SBCEO in the Auditorium. Below, please find registration information from Capitol Advisors. There is no fee to participate in the workshop.
Please feel free to forward this information to others in your district.
Thank you,
Steve Torres Associate Superintendent, Administrative Services Santa Barbara County Education Office (805)964-4711 ext.5700

May Revision Budget Perspectives Workshop
Friday, May 26, 2023 9:00am to 11:00am

Santa Barbara County Education Office
Auditorium
4400 Cathedral Oaks Rd. Santa Barbara, CA 93110

To register, please use the link below. Please note that workshop is not virtual, but will be held at the county office.

May Revision Budget Perspectives Workshop, Santa Barbara CEO<budgetperspectivesworksho.regfox.com/may-revision-2023-24>

We have been tracking the economy and revenue collection data and although much is still uncertain about the budget situation for FY 2023-24, it seems likely that revenues will be lower than the projections used in the Governor’s January Budget. The Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) currently predicts that there is an 80% chance that revenues will be down compared to January, with their best guess that revenues will be about $5 billion lower. After rapid revenue growth and record-breaking General Fund (GF) and Proposition 98 spending over the last few years, this flattening out and downturn are not unexpected.

Fortunately, both the GF and Prop. 98 have healthy reserves built up, and significant one-time spending in last year’s budget leaves us some cushion to maintain most or all on-going funding levels and hopefully provide a full or nearly full COLA to the LCFF and on-going programs (note that with inflation high we are expecting a large COLA, likely above 7.5%).

Capitol Advisors will discuss proposed funding and programs in the May Revision, as well as advocacy plans related to:

* Maintaining LCFF gains and providing a full COLA * Funding, policy and implementation issues related to expanded learning, TK, universal meals, community schools, special education, etc. * Continuing efforts to address declining enrollment and ADA fluctuations * The political dynamics that will impact the Legislature’s consideration of the Governor’s proposal

This workshop is provided at no cost and is presented by Capitol Advisors in collaboration with ACSA, CSBA, SSDA, AALRR and CLIMATEC.

Dear School Business Officials,
The SBCEO LCAP Professional Learning Series will culminate on Wednesday, February 15th with the LCAP Template Training. The event will take place in-person at the SBCEO Auditorium (Cathedral Oaks) from 8:30AM-3:00PM. All program and fiscal members of LEA LCAP teams are encouraged to attend.
In the morning session (8:30AM-11:30AM), SBCEO LCAP Leads will review the required elements of the template and share strategies for developing a meaningful and accessible plan. Fiscal information, including the contributing actions table and carryover calculation, will be highlighted.
During the afternoon session (12:00PM-3:00PM), District and charter teams will have the opportunity to begin writing their plans and receive support from SBCEO LCAP Leads.
Attached is the flier for the training with the registration link. Registration for each member of your team attending is required. Breakfast and lunch will be served. Please contact Steve Torres at storres@sbceo.org<mailto:storres@sbceo.org> if you have questions related to the training.
We are also cancelling the SBO Meeting that was scheduled for February 16th to allow you time to attend the LCAP meeting.
Thank you so much for your hard work and effort supporting our districts!

School Business Advisory Services Team Santa Barbara County Education Office
