Kelseyville Unified board to consider budget report Tuesday

KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – On Tuesday the Kelseyville Unified School District will consider approving a second interim budget report that includes all of the cuts board members identified in meetings last week.


The public portion of the meeting will convene at 7 p.m. in the Kelseyville Unified School District Office board room, 4410 Konocti Road.


The full agenda and staff reports for the meeting can be downloaded at www.kusd.lake.k12.ca.us/District/#!/District/Events/130909-Board-Meeting.html .


The board will be asked to consider approving the district's second interim budget, which it's required to do by March 15, according to a report from District Chief Financial Officer Tiffany Kemp.


The district, which is drawing on its reserves, is not running on a balanced budget and has therefore been placed on qualified status by the state. That status requires oversight by the Lake County Office of Education, which has provided a financial expert to assist with creating a fiscal recovery plan, officials reported.


Kemp writes in her report to the board that a lack of revenue from the state “will most definitely impact education funding significantly.”


She goes on to add, “We are bracing for the deepest cuts yet, with a deficit factor of 19.608 percent and ongoing cuts of $330 per students.”


Kemp's update – which is the preface to the 104-page interim budget report – includes approximately $2,293,400 in cuts the board identified in its budget last week, as Lake County News has reported.


Those cuts include one-time savings of $247,000, $867,700 for 2011-12 and in the 2012-13 school year another $1,178,700, according to Kemp's report.


Other items on the agenda include the Kelseyville Unified Teachers Association initial proposal to Kelseyville Unified School District for negotiations 2011-12 including articles on class size and grievances, and a resolution authorizing borrowing funds for the coming fiscal year, as well as the issuance and sale of one or more series of tax and revenue anticipation notes.
