The district

Where does Inglewood Unified’s money go, and what does it plan?

Inglewood Unified spent $29,101 per student in the 2024–25 school year.

The typical California district spent $20,491. About 63 cents of every Inglewood Unified dollar went to classroom instruction.

Spending by function

Day-to-day spending per student in average daily attendance, from the district’s annual financial report (SACS) to the California Department of Education. District-wide: it includes central administration and costs never assigned to one campus.

Shares of the same spending total, by the report’s spending categories, rounded so they add up to 100. Names are simplified from the report’s own categories.

What the district plans

$81.6 million

planned in its 2026–27 plan for 49 funded actions in 6 goals. That’s 46% of its $178.4 million general fund budget. These are planned amounts; the district reports what it spent in a later plan.

The plan in short

Source: the district’s yearly spending plan (Local Control and Accountability Plan, or LCAP, 205 pages), as posted to the California School Dashboard.

Where the money goes

Three actions take 55% of the money; their titles are below. The plan itself puts 1% of it toward staff.

Reading, math and catch-up help

7 of the plan’s 49 funded actions name reading, math, catch-up help or English learners in their titles.

Actions whose titles name catch-up help or English learners
  • Catch-up help $7.5 million
  • English learners $0.6 million

Largest of these

  • Academic Intervention support for Foster Youth and Low income Students$3.6 million
  • Monitoring the District wide implementation of MTSS focusing on the effectiveness of Tier II and Tier II supports$3.1 million
  • Long Term English Learner and Newcomer Student Support$619,863
For high-need students (English learners, low-income students and foster youth), what changed and what its goals measure
For high-need students

It plans $30.0 million in extra services for English learners, low-income students and foster youth. For 2025–26, it planned $34.4 million and estimates it spent $26.1 million, $8.3 million (24%) less than planned (our arithmetic).

Ask: Why did estimated spending on these services come in $8.3 million under the 2025–26 plan, and where does that money go in 2026–27?

What changed

The total is $10.5 million (11%) lower than in the 2025–26 plan. The biggest change in dollars is Special Ed Instruction and Compliance(monitoring) Monitor the instructional practices and student outcomes for SWD, which went from $14.7 million to $11.7 million.

Figures from CDE’s state test, chronic absence and suspension files. Test figures cover every grade the district tests (California tests grades 3–8 and 11), so they differ from a profile’s rated grades. We combined the district’s schools ourselves, weighted by students and leaving out charter schools. Chronically absent means a student missed 10% or more of school days.

“In an effort to increase stability, Equity Multiplier schools will receive services and support to ensure that all students have access to resources and opportunities necessary for their success. Inglewood Continuation (ICHS): Our goal is to increase the stability rate by 10% by June 2027 school year. Staff, parents, students, community partners and district office support will accomplish this goal by collaborating, attending training, implementing resources to address a Multi Tiered System of Support (MTSS), tracking student attendance and mobility weekly, and put in place and providing social and emotional systems of support to all students. Accomplishing these action steps will increase our stability rate, increase student attendance and increase student’s motivation by coming to school everyday. Inglewood High School: By the end of the 2027 school year, Inglewood High School students will make a 20% gain in proficiency rates in ELA and Math assessments such as SBAC (11th grade), STAR and iReady (all grades). IHS Students will also demonstrate a 20% decrease on these assessments from the lowest performance level, and IHS will have a 95% participation rate for all of these assessments. These goals will be met through our efforts to increase classroom engagement and attendance. Frank D. Parent: Our goal is to increase the student stability rate by 10% by June 2027. This will be achieved through collaboration among staff, families, community partners, and district support. Together, we will implement a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS), track student attendance and mobility weekly, and provide consistent social-emotional support for all students. Through ongoing training and targeted interventions, we aim to strengthen family engagement, improve attendance, and increase student motivation to attend school every day” p. 105 ↗
