8.13:11Public Hearing – Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) for 2025-2026Information
Agustin Espino (3min) — As ELAC President and RCSD parent, he thanked the district for its work but raised concerns about low Hispanic/Latino parent engagement at meetings and the persistent achievement gap between White/Asian and Black/Latino students, asking what the district is doing to close that gap especially if advanced classes are introduced.
Item details
RationaleThe Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) is a state-required three-year plan that outlines a school district's goals, actions, services, and expenditures to improve student outcomes aligned with both state and local priorities. As required by Education Code §52062, the School Board must hold a public hearing to gather feedback and recommendations from the public regarding the draft LCAP and related budget prior to final adoption. This public hearing is the final opportunity for stakeholders to provide input into the LCAP before it is presented for approval at the board's regular meeting on June 25, 2025. The LCAP is a critical part of the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). Funds are expected to be principally directed toward the success of English Learners, Foster Youth, Homeless, and Low-Income students. RCSD has engaged parents, educators, employees, union members, students, and the community to update the 2024-25 LCAP. The LCAP is developed through a series of meetings and an analysis of local data. The final draft of the Annual Update and LCAP were both taken to the LCAP Committee on April 22, 2025, and April 28, 2025, and DELAC for review on May 19, 2025. The attached document contains the following items: LCFF Budget Overview for Parents Supplement to Annual Update for 2024-27 LCAP 2025-26 LCAP Plan Summary Engaging Educational Partners Goals, Actions, Services Increased or Improved Services Expenditure Tables: 2025-26 Total Expenditures Table 2025-26 Contributing Actions Table 2025-26 Annual Update Table 2025-26 Contributing Actions Annual Update Table 2025-26 LCFF Carryover Table LCAP Instructions Attachments Local Control and Accountability Plan 2024-2027

8.21:18:49Public Hearing: RCSD 2025/26 Proposed BudgetInformation
Item details
RationaleEducation Code Sections 42103, 42122, and 42127 require the Governing Board of each school district to hold a public hearing on the proposed budget prior to its adoption. The public hearing must be held no less than three working days following the availability of the proposed budget for public inspection. At the hearing, any resident in the district may appear and object to the proposed budget or any item in the budget. The RCSD proposed budget was available for public inspection from June 13, 2025, to June 20, 2025, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The budget must include expenditures necessary to implement the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). The proposed budget shows an itemized statement of all estimated revenues and expenditures for the next fiscal year and a comparison of revenue and expenditures for the current year. Beginning in the 2015-16 fiscal year, local educational agencies are required to present a statement of reasons that substantiates the need for an assigned and unassigned balance in excess of the minimum reserve level if projected ending fund balances include an assigned and unassigned balance in excess of the state-recommended minimum level. The district's governing board shall not finally adopt the budget until after the public hearing has been held. The RCSD Governing Board is scheduled to take action on the 2025-26 Proposed Budget for adoption at the June 25, 2025, Board of Trustees meeting.

10.11:50:20Approval of the Prop 28 Expenditure Plan for the 2025-2026 School YearAction
Item details
RecommendationIt is the Administration's recommendation that the School Board approve the expenditure plan for Proposition 28 funding for the 2025-26 school year.
RationaleProposition 28, passed by voters in the fall of 2022, adds the Arts and Music in Schools— Funding Guarantee and Accountability Act to the California Education Code to provide a minimum source for annual funding to “supplement arts education programs” for pupils attending K–12 public and charter schools. Beginning with fiscal year 2023–24, funds will be allocated by the California Department of Education (CDE) to each local educational agency (LEA). The distribution will be based on enrollment. • 70 percent will go to schools based on their share of statewide enrollment. • 30 percent will go to schools based on their share of low-income students enrolled statewide. The actual amount of funding will be published by the Director of Finance and will provide the district and site allocations in July 2025. At this time, we have planned for the following distribution, based on information from School Services of California. Process for the determination of Prop 28: School sites determined site needs by doing a school survey of parents, staff, and students to determine the priority for each site to allocate funding for Prop 28. Some school sites will supplement with other school funding sources to be able to provide 1.0 full-time teacher(s) (FTEs). School Site Council at each school site approved the usage of the funding for Prop 28 after reviewing the surveys. The materials portion of Prop 28 will support Art integration for sites that have a STEAM focus, for training the instructor, as well as purchasing materials to support or enhance art instruction at the school site. Finally, in accordance with Prop 28, districts must: • Submit an annual board-approved report “in a manner determined by the Superintendent.” • Post how funds were spent on their websites.
