EUHSD Board Workshop - May 5, 2026

The Eskanito Union High School District (EUHSD) Board of Education held a workshop on May 5, 2026, focusing primarily on updates to the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) and the district's budget. The meeting included a detailed review of the LCAP budget for the 2026-27 school year, highlighting a projected decrease of approximately $621,000 in supplemental and concentration funds due to declining enrollment, though this was considered manageable within the overall $25 million budget. Stakeholder engagement efforts were discussed, including surveys and forums that informed priorities such as tutoring, counseling access, and expanded course opportunities. The board also reviewed staffing funded through LCAP, including 122 full-time equivalent positions supporting various student needs. The budget update covered changes since the second interim report, noting a $500,000 increase in future year revenues due to attendance adjustments, and an overall increase in expenses primarily related to salaries and tentative agreements with employee groups. The board discussed the impact of declining enrollment on funding and the challenges of balancing restricted and unrestricted funds. The timeline for finalizing and submitting the LCAP to the county office of education was outlined, with a public hearing scheduled for June 16 and board action on June 23. No new actions or services were added to the LCAP for 2026-27, with a focus on maintaining or increasing existing priorities within the constraints of the budget.
