The district

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

San Jacinto Unified spent $23,333 per student in the 2024–25 school year.

The typical California district spent $20,491. About 65 cents of every San Jacinto 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.

Share by function, 2024–25

  • Instruction65%
  • Instruction support13%
  • Student services7%
  • Administration6%
  • 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

$55.2 million

planned in its 2026–27 plan for 70 funded actions in 10 goals. That’s 23% of its $243.7 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, 331 pages), as posted to the California School Dashboard.

Where the money goes

Three actions take 40% of the money. The plan itself puts 90% of it toward staff.

  • Non-traditional Educational Opportunities $12.7 million
  • Positive Culture/Climate and Safety $5.8 million
  • Provide Social/Emotional Well-Being Support $3.7 million
  • 67 other actions
Reading, math and catch-up help

11 of the plan’s 70 funded actions name reading, math, catch-up help or English learners in their titles.

Actions whose titles name reading, catch-up help or English learners
  • Reading $2.2 million
  • Catch-up help $0.5 million
  • English learners $1.3 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 $48.3 million in extra services for English learners, low-income students and foster youth. For 2025–26, it planned $46.6 million and estimates it spent $45.2 million, $1.4 million (3%) less than planned (our arithmetic).

What changed

The total is $2.8 million (5%) higher than in the 2025–26 plan. The biggest change in dollars is Non-traditional Educational Opportunities, which went from $11.5 million to $12.7 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.
