$62.1 million

planned in its 2026–27 plan for 63 funded actions in 6 goals. That’s 32% of its $191.2 million general fund budget. These are planned amounts; the district reports what it spent in a later plan.

  • Beyond the Bell /Beyond the Bell Alliance $7.6 million
  • District Wide HVAC repairs $4.8 million

Goal 6 tracks named schools and Goals 3 and 5 track other measures, so they aren’t shown here.

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.
