 Background:
California Education Code 42130 states that each school district shall submit two reports to the governing board of the district during each fiscal year. The first interim report shall cover the financial and budgetary status of the district for the period ending October 31. The second interim report shall cover the period ending January 31. It is a requirement to receive approval from the school district’s governing board no later than 45 days after the close of the period being reported. Reports are required to be in a format prescribed by the Superintendent of Public Instruction (SPI) and based on standards and criteria for fiscal stability adopted by the State Board of Education pursuant to Ed Code 33127. The District is responsible for making these reports and the supporting documentation available for public review.
 Rationale:

California Education Code 42131 requires the governing board of each school district to certify, in writing, within 45 days after the close of the period being reported, obligations for the remainder of the fiscal year and, based on current forecast, for the subsequent fiscal year.  Certification should be classified as positive, qualified, or negative. 


First Interim packets will be made available to Board Members after December 4, 2020. Packets will also be available at the District Office for public viewing.
