 With the adoption of the Second Interim Report, Ramona Unified “self-qualified”  “Qualified” status means the School District is uncertain that it will be able to meet the State’s fiscal requirements  Education Code, as well as the San Diego Office of Education, requires that a school district submit a Third Interim Report 2

 Increases in Revenue Additional Federal Title I dollars for Corrective Action Planning dollars from Energy Efficiency – Proposition 39  These revenues can only be used for the purpose of their intentions  As a reminder, staff has yet to receive any confirmation from the State on the actual revenues generated through the LCFF for the current or next fiscal year This budget and multi-year projections may be conservative 4

 Expenditures Both the additional Title I and the Proposition 39 dollars are restricted Therefore, corresponding increases to expenses due to increases in these revenue sources are needed This explains the bulk of the increase to expenses 5
