Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP)
Assistant Superintendent John Fogarty provided an overview of the meeting agenda to include a review of the draft Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), the budget prioritization process and determination of funding focus areas, an overview of the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) model, and initial budget projections.
Director Alan Schlichting presented an overview of the LCAP and reported on the process and efforts to solicit input from all stakeholder groups. Assistant Superintendent Eamonn O'Donovan remarked on the implications for collective bargaining. Noting, the LCAP is an allocation model and not subject to collective bargaining; however the District has received input from the bargaining units regarding the LCAP.
Schlichting reviewed the LCAP Focus Areas including the proposed actions and type of funding:
1. Direct Student Instructional Support
2. Mental Health Support
3. Increase School-Site Funding
4. California Standards Aligned Materials and Support
5. Equity and Safety
Board members inquired if the LCAP plan from last year was on track as expected, and urged staff to continue to solicit input and feedback from as many stakeholders as possible. Member Wallin asked for information on funding for disaster preparation supplies for school sites.
2015-16 District Budget
Assistant Superintendent John Fogarty reviewed the major components of the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), advising that Irvine would receive no funding beyond the base and supplemental grants, due to a low percentage of targeted disadvantaged students. He presented the 2015-16 funding projections for the district, indicating an anticipated increase of $5 million in ongoing funds and $15 million in one-time funds.
Fogarty reported, based on feedback from all stakeholder groups, budget prioritization focus areas were identified, and specific recommendations for allocation of additional resources were presented by executive staff.
Chief Technology Officer, Brianne Ford reviewed the recommended Proposed Technology Infrastructure Upgrades outside of LCAP funds. An estimated $11.5 million in 2015-16 is needed to provide a comprehensive network upgrade district-wide, which would take three years to complete in multiple phases. Staff suggested utilizing CFD and Fund 40 Special Reserve funds to commence the needed upgrades.
A timeline for next steps was provided:
