1. Junction Elementary School District
2015/16 Adopted Budget and Projections
June 18, 2015

2. Assumptions for 2015/16 Adopted Budget
LCFF Gap Funding at the following percentages as recommended by School Services of CA:
2015/16: %
2016/17: %
2017/18: %
An additional $601 per ADA of one-time funding was proposed in the May Revised Budget. Because it is unknown how and when these funds will be distributed, or what restrictions may be placed upon them, these have not been included in the June Budget. If the funds are distributed as proposed, the district would receive approximately $144,000 in additional revenues in 2015/16.

3. Supplemental/Concentration Grant Funding
Along with its overall LCFF revenues, the district’s supplemental/concentration funding will increase from $58,061 in 2014/15 to $121,338 in 2015/16
This will increase the district’s obligation for expenditures for additional services to benefit the student population on which the grant is based:
Free and reduced lunch-eligible
Foster Youth
English Language Learners
The district is projected to meet this obligation with the services that it plans to provide in 2015/16.

10. Final Notes
The district spent a large portion of its General Fund reserve in 2014/15, much of it on one-time expenses to address urgent facility needs.
The district’s ongoing projections show continued fund balance declines based on current enrollment, revenue, and expenditure projections.
The district will need to find ways to close the remaining gap between revenues and expenditures; it will not be able to draw on its reserves indefinitely
As indicated in its assignments of reserve balances, the district has strong reasons to maintain its reserves. Many of the funds once available to districts for capital expenditures, such as the Small Schools Bus Replacement Grant, no longer exist. With the current LCFF formula, it will be the responsibility of districts to accumulate the necessary funds for these expenditures. 10
