Adopted Budget Webpage Updated
Education Code requires districts to prepare the 2025-26 Adopted Budget Report and present it to the board for approval prior to July 1. Important information regarding the district’s Budget and Public Hearing requirements, as well as tools and resources such as updated STRS-on behalf calculations, utility rates, and payroll rates and limits needed to complete the Adopted Budget Report, are available on the SBAS Website – Adopted Budget Webpage<sbasweb.sbceo.org/reporting/adopted-budget>. Please continue to check the website as additional resources, like the Common Message, will be posted once information becomes available.
Reminder: Districts must submit all documents to our office within five calendar days after adoption, or July 1, whichever is earlier. New for 2025-26, the Adopted Budget Submission checklist<app.informedk12.com/link_campaigns/adopted-budget-submission-checklist?token=boGBAyFN61t9kqEecTuJhfQz> is now an Informed K12 form linked on the Adopted Budget webpage under Forms & Templates, allowing districts to upload budget supporting documents and receive a confirmation email. Just a reminder that as of 2024-25, a cashflow is now required for the Adopted Budget reporting period. The items that must be uploaded, in addition to promotion of the SACS file to the Oversight Queue in SACS Web, are as follows:
1. PDF copies of the signed form CB and CC (mail originals to SBAS)
2. SACS Technical Review Checks for the Estimated Actuals and Adopted Budget datasets
3. LCFF Calculator – May Revise (Excel file)
4. Balances in Excess of Minimum Reserves Requirements Disclosure (for the Adopted Budget year and two subsequent years)
5. Multi-Year Projections for F01 and any fund(s) projected to have a negative ending balance (if using an SBAS-approved alternative format in lieu of SACS Form MYP)
6. Budget narrative
7. Cash Flow (if using an SBAS-approved alternative format in lieu of SACS Form CASH)
8. For districts that sponsor charters, the charter Adopted Budget (including any supplemental/supporting information)
