With the release of the May Revise today, we would like to remind you that LCAP information and resources, including the Crosswalk for LCFF Budget Overview for Parents and LCAP Carryover Table annotated are available here –> SBO Meeting Padlet<santabarbaracountysbas.padlet.org/debbiebreck/sbo-meeting-april-27-2023-amepdl858z0pyxib>
We are happy to answer questions and preview the Budget Overview for Parents* prior to your public hearing. In the past we have been able to identify common issues that can be fixed in time to prevent the plan from having to be brought back to the board for clarification later in the summer. Once the May Revise LCFF Calculator is released and final figures are incorporated in the LCAP, please send the following documents to your District Financial Advisor:
* Budget Overview for Parents * May Revise LCFF Calculator (estimated release around May 20) * Final SACS Form 01 * Final LCAP (including completed expenditure tables)
*Note: We are performing a high-level preview, additional issues may be discovered during the full LCAP Review.
Please submit preview documents far enough in advance of your board meeting to ensure enough time for preview turnaround in the event adjustments are necessary. We generally ask for two weeks since we receive all our district LCAPs during a short window, but we realize that may not be feasible given your internal timelines. The more time we have, the more thorough preview we can provide. Our goal is to help districts ensure that the Budget Overview for Parents goes to the board with all the correct data.
If you have any questions, please contact your District Financial Advisor.
Regards,
School Business Advisory Services Team Santa Barbara County Education Office
