+ WORKLOAD BUDGET PLANNING Manhattan Beach Unified School District 325 S. Peck Avenue Manhattan Beach, CA 90266 Phone: (310) 318-7345, x5900 Budget Update – April 15, 2020
2 BUDGET OUTLOOK The adopted budget described the current and subsequent two fiscal years as having a positive fiscal outlook, but this was achieved only through substantial expenditure reductions. The Board of Trustees for the Manhattan Beach Unified School District has approved the reduction of 38.16 FTE’s for 2020-21. . . . Even with these reductions, the District will need to begin planning for the reduction of the equivalent of an additional 39 positions for 2021-22, and initial projections for 2022-23 indicate the need to reduce by the equivalent of another 25 positions in that year. - MBUSD Second Interim Budget Report March 4, 2020 Budget Update – April 15, 2020
3 BUDGET OUTLOOK Despite the sustained efforts, the virus continues to spread and is impacting nearly all sectors of California’s economy. Among these impacts is a potentially severe drop in economic activity, with corresponding negative effects on anticipated revenues for the upcoming 2020-21 fiscal year and beyond. In light of this evolving situation, the Department of Finance will not propose any . . . adjustments to the Governor’s Budget . . . . We will reevaluate all budget changes within the context of a workload budget. - Department of Finance Letter March 24, 2020 (A Workload Budget refers to the amount required to maintain current services) Budget Update – April 15, 2020
4 BUDGET OUTLOOK We do have another storm—a recession—that may hit us even before this pandemic has subsided. Before the pandemic hit, more than half of all local school agencies had been declining in enrollment for years, and the slowdown of just the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for revenue increases for the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) had begun. Even local school agencies that haven’t been declining in enrollment found themselves to be deficit spending due to myriad cost pressures . . . . Considering all of this, we think it’s time to batten down the hatches—if your agency hasn’t already. That includes changing the way the local agency budget is developed and planning ahead to prepare for lower funding. - School Services of California April 13, 2020 Budget Update – April 15, 2020

9 ADA v. REVENUE Declining enrollment leads to a decrease in revenue provided through the LCFF. Current year revenues are based on the higher of the current or the prior year’s enrollment numbers. When a district’s enrollment declines, the effects on LCFF revenue are thereby delayed until the following year, providing the district with time to plan and prepare and to determine whether a single year’s decline in enrollment is anomalous or ongoing. However, with MBUSD’s enrollment declining for the third time in a row, revenue is impacted. Budget Update – April 15, 2020
