The district

Where does Menifee Union’s money go, and what does it plan?

Menifee Union spent $16,556 per student in the 2024–25 school year.

The typical California district spent $20,491. About 65 cents of every Menifee Union 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.

Share by function, 2024–25

  • Instruction65%
  • Instruction support12%
  • Student services9%
  • Administration5%
  • Buildings & maintenance9%

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

$37.0 million

planned in its 2026–27 plan for 53 funded actions in 4 goals. That’s 17% of its $223.5 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, 285 pages), as posted to the California School Dashboard.

Where the money goes

Three actions take 32% of the money. The plan itself puts 77% of it toward staff.

  • Administrative Support $6.4 million
  • School Counseling $3.1 million
  • Teacher Staffing for Effective Learning Environments to Reduce Combo Classes $2.5 million
  • 50 other actions
Reading, math and catch-up help

11 of the plan’s 53 funded actions name reading, math, catch-up help or English learners in their titles.

Actions whose titles name reading, math, catch-up help or English learners
  • Reading $0.6 million
  • Math $0.5 million
  • Catch-up help $2.8 million

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 $28.3 million in extra services for English learners, low-income students and foster youth. For 2025–26, it planned $26.7 million and estimates it spent $26.4 million, $0.3 million (1%) less than planned (our arithmetic).

What changed

The total is $2.3 million (6%) higher than in the 2025–26 plan. The biggest change in dollars is Administrative Support, which went from $5.2 million to $6.4 million.

Goal 4 isn’t shown because it tracks named schools.

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.

Goal 4 · Equity Multiplier Focus GoalMenifee Virtual School will improve academic performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics and reduce…$51,295under 1% of action budgets

“Menifee Virtual School will improve academic performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics and reduce chronic absenteeism for student groups demonstrating the greatest need, particularly Socioeconomically Disadvantaged and Hispanic students. Current California School Dashboard data indicates that Menifee Virtual School is performing at the Yellow level overall in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Chronic Absenteeism. Overall student performance reflects continued growth trends, with English Language Arts improving by 5.7 points to 7.5 points below standard, Mathematics improving by 19.7 points to 46.0 points below standard, and chronic absenteeism improving by 2.1 percentage points to 13.8%. Despite these improvements, achievement gaps remain for key student groups. Hispanic students are performing at the Orange level in English Language Arts at 11.9 points below standard, while Socioeconomically Disadvantaged students are performing at the Yellow level at 26.5 points below standard. In Mathematics, Hispanic students are performing at 54.0 points below standard and Socioeconomically Disadvantaged students are performing at 65.1 points below standard. Chronic absenteeism also remains an area of concern, with Hispanic students at 14.2% chronically absent and Socioeconomically Disadvantaged students at 15.0% chronically absent. Growth data demonstrates positive momentum, with 61.5% of students improving in English Language Arts and 59.7% improving in Mathematics from the prior year. However, the 2023–2024 Teacher Assignment Monitoring Outcome (TAMO) Report identified an additional area of need related to equitable access to appropriately assigned and credentialed teachers. The report indicated that 71% of teachers were appropriately assigned and fully credentialed, while 18.1% were assigned out-of-field and 10.9% were identified as ineffective. These staffing challenges reinforce the need for continued investment in instructional quality, professional learning, targeted intervention supports, and recruitment and retention efforts to ensure students have equitable access to effective instruction. To address identified needs, Menifee Virtual School will continue implementing targeted academic interventions, personalized learning supports, attendance monitoring systems, and expanded virtual and in-person engagement opportunities, while strengthening family engagement and early intervention supports through Community Liaison services and proactive outreach. Additional efforts will focus on improving instructional consistency, strengthening teacher support systems, and expanding evidence-based instructional practices to accelerate learning for student groups performing below standard” p. 134 ↗
