2022-23 P-2 J-29 Property Tax Summary

Dear School Business Professionals,
The 2022-23 J-29 P-2 Property Tax Summary is now posted on our website on the Adopted Budget<www.sbceo.org/domain/251> page.
Important notes about this Property Tax Report
The items below represent a summary of notable changes from the prior reporting period, P-1 to P-2.
* Column A-2: Unsecured decrease due to downward roll corrections decreasing the available levy. * Column A-8: Supplemental is anticipated to be higher than previously projected. Backlog processing continued to be posted in the current fiscal year. * Column B-1: AB1290 Passthrough and Column B-2: RDA Residual projected higher than P-1. * Column B-3 Santa Barbara RDA: Final Cash Fund Distribution to be apportioned in June.
Note: Prior Year collections should be taken into consideration when developing your budget since some are one-time sources and should not be carried forward as ongoing revenues in future years.
The above factors are important to consider when planning for your district’s 2022-23 Estimated Actuals and 2023-24 Adopted Budget and Multi-Year Projections. Please review how these changes may affect your individual district.
If you have any questions regarding the 2022-23 P-2 Property Tax Report, please contact Rebecca Holmes (rholmes@sbceo.org<mailto:rholmes@sbceo.org>).

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.
