Title
Presentation by Troy Christmas, Senior Director of Strategic Initiatives and Sondra Aguilera, Chief Academic Officer, to LCAP - Parent Advisory Committee of Proposed Reductions to the 2020-21 LCAP Budget and their Impact on LCAP.
Guiding Questions for the Presentation
1. What actions not based on reductions has OUSD pursued to generate revenue or increase savings? What has been the effect of those actions in mitigating the reductions presented today? Are additional actions planned?
2. How did the Governor’s budget affect the proposal for the OUSD budget? How did we use it to mitigate reductions? What are state, regional, or city-level opportunities that our district and community should be pursuing to help increase revenue?
3. How were the needs of vulnerable student groups (e.g. student groups under differentiated assistance) considered in the current proposal? How were those students protected?
4. How does the current proposal impact specific actions listed in our current LCAP? How have the LCAP recommendations of PSAC and other committees been considered in this budget proposal? Also, how will staff and the Board consider current feedback?
