Books/supplies (6.5%) and services (12%) were larger due to carry over from last year and learning loss mitigation funds. The district said about 85% of the one-time pandemic and learning loss mitigation funds have been suspended, and has projected about $7.6 million in deficit spending.
Staff said 85% of one-time pandemic related funds are already expended but there is "significant additional funding pending."
That includes the district's $4.43 million portion of a $2 billion dollar statewide in-person instruction grant program, as well as $9.35 million from a $4.56 billion state-funded expanded learning opportunities grant.
With district enrollment down more than 400 students this year as a result of the pandemic, staff is also predicting the district's new Virtual Academy can help with enrollment loss when it comes to LCFF funds.
