Hello YCTA,
The “May Revise” has been released. The Governor proposes a budget in January and
then revises it in May. Our state budget
depends in large part upon personal income tax so the revenue picture is more
clear after the April 15 tax deadline.
The legislature will then pass a budget at some point thereafter. School districts will pass their budgets by
July 1.
The economy is improving for California. Tax revenues are up and our Governor has
demonstrated a commitment to public education. There will
be more money for schools next year.
How will our District allocate those dollars? What will be the priorities?
Tomorrow (5/21) night at
5PM the YCUSD Board has scheduled a special session. They will meet in
closed session to “give direction to Agency Negotiator Jonathan Barth regarding
negotiations with Yuba City Teachers Association,…” and then open study session
to “review
initial stages of budget development as presented by staff and provide
direction as appropriate, in consideration of the Governor’s budget.” I quote
from the posted agenda.
I provide this information just in case you are interested
in attending. I will be there. However, it may be hard to gauge when they
will convene the open session. You may
join me if you have an interest in the budget development for YCUSD. I will report to you after the meeting any
key details.
Stay in touch, Dina
