The Board adopted Resolution No. 22/23-5 showing the actual appropriations limit for 2021/22 of $27,864,259 and the estimated appropriations limit for 2022/23 of $29,968,011.
Unaudited Actuals
As required by Education Code Section 42100, the Board certified its review of the district's final revenue and expenditure figures for 2021/22. General Fund revenues for 2021/22 totaled $53,449,758 versus total General Fund expenditures and transfers out of $50,626,494. This represents a budget increase for 2021/22 of $2,823,264. The General Fund closed 2021/22 with an ending balance of $12,505,176. Funding for 2022/23, given the adjustments to the ending balance from 2021/22, along with designated carryover amounts, is adequate to fund the approved programs for the 2022/23 school year. The full report is available online.
