The A–G Completion Improvement Grant Program was established by Assembly Bill 130 for the purpose of providing additional supports to Districts to help increase the number of California high school pupils, particularly unduplicated pupils, who graduate from high school with A–G eligibility.

There are a total of three grants; each District qualifies to receive two of these grants: the A-G Learning Loss Mitigation Grant and either the A-G Access Grant OR the A-G Success Grant.

A–G Access Grant: Allocates three hundred million dollars ($300,000,000), as defined in Education Code (EC) sections 41590. In an equal amount for every unduplicated pupil enrolled in grades 9 to 12, inclusive, as reported in the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS) for the 2020–21 fiscal year Fall 1 Submission to each LEA that is identified by the department pursuant to subdivision (h) have an overall A–G completion rate of less than 67 percent.

A–G Success Grant: Allocates one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000), as defined in EC sections 41590. In an equal amount for every unduplicated pupil enrolled in grades 9 to 12, inclusive, as reported in the CALPADS for the 2020–21 fiscal year Fall 1 Submission to each LEA that is identified by the department pursuant to subdivision (h) have an overall A–G completion rate of 67 percent or higher.

A–G Learning Loss Mitigation Grant: Allocates one hundred forty-seven million five hundred thirteen thousand dollars ($147,513,000), as defined in EC sections 41590. In an equal amount for every unduplicated pupil enrolled in grades 9 to 12, inclusive, as reported in the CALPADS for the 2020–21 fiscal year Fall 1 Submission to each LEA that is identified by the department pursuant to subdivision (h) receive a grade of “D,” “F,” or “Fail” in an A–G approved course in the spring semester of 2020 or the 2020–21 school year.

Because our overall A-G completion rate was 46.9% for the 2020-21 school year, the District qualifies to receive the A-G Access Grant, in addition to the A-G Learning Loss Mitigation Grant.

These two grants require that the Board adopts a plan for how these funds will be used to increase access to A-G coursework for all students, including foster youth, low-income students, and English learners.  This plan must be presented to the Board in a public meeting prior to the meeting in which the Board adopts the plan.  The plan must be adopted by the Board prior to April 1, 2022.

Board approval is requested for the attached report which reflects the second interim budget for all funds for the 2021-2022 fiscal year.  This budget reflects revenue estimates based on the current year budget adjusted for the final State Budget, grants, administration, and site budget requests.

The second interim budget serves as a working document which represents the districts educational priorities.  It is based on assumptions known at the time of production.  Therefore, as the year progresses, changes to budgeted revenue funding and expenditures will be brought forward to the Board.  These changes will be based on updated assumptions, known as fiscal indicators and program needs.

The Galt Joint Union High School District is self-certifying the 2021-2022 Second Interim Budget as Positive.  A positive certification is assigned to a local educational agency (LEA) when it is determined that, based upon current projections, the LEA will be able to meet its financial obligations for the current year and two subsequent fiscal years.  At this time, the District will be able to meet its financial obligations.

In submitting the 2021-2022 Second Interim Budget, the Board understands its fiduciary responsibility to maintain fiscal solvency for the current and subsequent two forecast years. The County Office of Education has the responsibility of reviewing the budget report and either confirming or changing the certification.

It is recommended that the Board of Trustees of the Galt Joint Union High School District approve the Second Interim Budget for all funds for the 2021-2022 school year.

The Consolidated Application, the fiscal companion to the Local Education Agency (LEA) Plan, has two parts: The Spring Part (previously known as Part I), approved by the Board on June 24, 2021, was the application for funds; Winter Part (previously known as Part II) describes the allocation of those funds.

Part II of the annual application for Consolidated Categorical Aid funding is presented for approval this evening. By approving Parts I and II, the Board assures the California State Board of Education that the District will adhere to the attached legal assurances.

All applicable state and federal rules and regulations will be observed, and the use of all funds will be subject to review and/or audit, according to the standards and criteria of the California Department of Education's current Coordinated Compliance Review Manual.

This application declares Galt Joint Union High School District's intent to apply for funding of consolidated categorical aid programs. Failure to approve this application will result in withholding of funding by the state for those programs listed in the Consolidated Application.  All applicable state and federal rules and regulations will be observed, and the use of all funds will be subject to review and/or audit, according to the standards and criteria of the CDE's current consolidated program monitoring.

This application guides the district in allocation of categorical program funds. The attached consolidated application contains information relating to entitlement, allocations, and numbers of participants in specific programs.
