School board OKs budget Kings Canyon Unified trustees last week unanimously approved a tentative budget of $81.4 million for 2013-14, but major policy changes in Sacramento are likely to give the district more money to
Jordan 2 Melos spend. That's because Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law on Monday, July 1, an initiative that will give extra money to school districts in California that have large numbers of English-language learners and other students who Brown believes need extra help. Kings Canyon Unified is one of those districts, and it stands to gain an additional $1.6 million in the fiscal year that runs from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014. KCUSD's new budget provides no pay raises for employees, and it requires them to pay nothing more than they currently contribute for their benefits.
Brown's initiative, called the Local Control
Jordan 9 Photo Blue Funding Formula (LCFF), replaces a school funding formula that based a district's funding on its average daily attendance. KCUSD's new budget was written according to the old funding formula, but it will be updated to reflect the additional revenue coming in, said Adele Nikkel, KCUSD's director of fiscal services. She expects the updated 2013-14 budget to be finished in October and approved by the school board in December. Superintendent Juan Garza said the LCFF is great news for the district. If you compare a district like ours to districts like Clovis or Kingsburg, which don't have as many English learners or low socio-economic students, those districts are naturally going to get less than we are, Garza said. Around three-quarters of KCUSD students qualify as socio-economically disadvantaged. Garza said he feels good about the district's financial shape, thanks in large part to the

We're beginning to level out, though we're not back to where we were five or six years ago, he said. We're starting to plateau, but at least we're not losing ground anymore. He said the district will continue to maintain sound fiscal practices and operate as efficiently as possible. That's the approach that's carried us through in the past, he said. We will continue to look for ways to save money and maintain our reserves, in case the economy takes another flop.
