File Attachment:
1516 Statement for Excess Reserves.pdf
Summary: Senate Bill (SB)858 (Chapter 32/2014) requires that, starting with the 2015-16 adopted budgets, school districts hold a public hearing to provide information on the amount in the unrestricted General Fund reserve that is above the minimum requirement. Our district's minimum requirement is 2% of the total unrestricted General Fund expenditures and other financing uses.

The district is committed to maintain a prudent level of financial resources to protect against the need to reduce service levels because of temporary revenue shortfalls or unpredictable expenditures and to maintain a high bond rating. The statement for assigned and unassigned ending fund balances above the state required minimum level is attached.
Funding: Not applicable
Fiscal Impact None
