unanimously to approve Resolution 2012-08: In the Matter of Borrowing Funds for Fiscal Year
2012-2013 and Authorizing the Issuance and Sale of 2012-2013 Tax and Revenue Anticipation

Resolution 2012-12: Budget Revisions and Transfer of Funds for Fiscal
Year 2011-12; and Budget Assumptions for Fiscal Year 2012-13
Ralph Pachter, Assistant Superintendent, Fiscal Services
Discussion
School districts are authorized under Education Code Sections 42600 and 42602
to make budget adjustments, revisions and transfers, by Board resolution, from
changes to revenues, expenditures and fund balance. Since the approval of the
2011-12 Second Interim Financial Report in March, updated projections support
adjusting the General Fund budget to increase the forecasted ending balance.
These changes are predicated on lower overall year-to-date spending levels as
of early May, and expected increases in revenues. The increase in the ending
balance will allow more accurate budgeting as a starting point for fiscal year
2012-13. There remains much uncertainty as to whether property taxes and
redevelopment proceeds will exceed current estimates, and whether final special
education and operations spending will closely match targeted levels.
Resolution 2012-12 will identify changes to the General Fund revenues,
expenditures and fund balance, and are expected to increase the 2011-12
ending balance by a total of $523,000. This is a combination of an additional
$261,000 net increase to revenues, and a decrease in expenditures of $262,000.
It is possible that additional cost savings or revenue will be realized when the
District’s books are closed this summer, but at present not there is not enough
confidence in the hundreds of individual data points available to warrant further
adjustments.
Attached along with the Resolution is a complete listing of accounts affected by
this budget revision.
Revenues
Changes to revenues include some additional property tax receipts, a net
increase in special education funding, an increase in final Class-size Reduction
funding, and small changes to transportation and local income.
Expenditures
It is expected that expenses for transportation, crossing guards, services, utilities
and maintenance will be lower than forecast at Second Interim. Most other
5A
expense categories were tracking close to budgeted levels as of the end of April.
Utilities, benefits, special education instructional assistant costs, maintenance,
and legal fees are typical areas where wide swings can occur against budgeted
spending levels. It is assumed that about half of these savings would be
considered as ongoing.
Assumptions for Compiling the 2012-13 Adopted Budget
There is great fiscal uncertainty as we head into Fiscal Year 2012-13. The
governor’s May revision once again contains the specter of midyear cuts and
hinges upon the November tax ballot measures. A possible sea change in school
funding is being proposed in the so-called Weighted Student Formula (WSF). A
rising level of Fair Share offsets to basic aid districts reduces available
categorical funding. Higher health care costs, support for programs and
operations, additional special education staffing, Program Improvement
requirements, and three-year compliance certification all add pressures on the
spending side of the budget. All of these, and other variables, make accurate (or
meaningful) budgeting a difficult task.
Listed below are some of the assumptions that are proposed to be used in
compiling the 2012-13 Adopted Budget.
1) Enrollment is projected to be +/- 1% from the current year’s 3,680 students.
2) Property tax growth will be budgeted at 1% of Secured Taxes. The current
Santa Barbara County Tax Collector’s Office estimate for our District is
about 0.79%.
3) The District is at impasse in negotiations with the teachers’ bargaining unit
for 2011-12. The outcome of this process is unknown, and although any
agreement will have a fiscal impact, no meeting is planned until late
September.
4) Budget cuts totaling about $650,000 for 2012-13, approved by the Board in
the Second Interim Financial Report will be used in the Adopted Budget.
5) Staffing levels for regular education is projected to be 154 fulltimeequivalent (FTE) positions.
6) Special Education will add an Emotionally Disturbed Program classroom
and increase psychologists and speech pathologists positions totaling about
2.1 FTE’s.
7) The District’s Fair Share offset to state categorical programs will increase
from 8.92% to 9.57% of the revenue limit calculation. This will increase the
reduction of categorical funding by about $192,000 from $1,952,000 to
$2,144,000 for 2012-13. Additionally, a $47,000 ($13 per ADA) one-time
cut for 2012-13 will reduce state categorical funds.
5A
8) If the November tax ballot measures fail, it will result in another $441 per
ADA (about $1,585,000). It is assumed, consistent with the way the Fair
Share process was implemented the last three years, this reduction would
not occur until fiscal year 2013-14 and would be ongoing.
9) No carryover of school site general education or strategic plan will be
factored into the budget. Carryover of site categorical monies will not be
known until the books are closed.
10) Budgeted allocated amounts for Strategic Plan and regular education will
remain at 2011-12 levels.
11) No General Fund match for Deferred Maintenance will be budgeted.
12) The Weighted Student Formula will not be factored in to the budget at this
point. Additional clarification is needed as to the calculation of the WSF, the
implementation timeline and confirmation of basic aid hold harmless status
for 2012-13 if the WSF is enacted.

The Board of Trustees: adopt Resolution 2012-12: Budget Revisions and
Transfer of Funds for Fiscal Year 2011-12.

Public Hearing: Resolution 2012-10; Establishing Tier III Categorical Flexibility for
Fiscal Year 2012-2013
Ralph Pachter, Assistant Superintendent, Fiscal Services
Public Hearing Relating to the Use of 2012-13 Tier III State Categorical Funds
Effective January 1, 2012, Assembly Bill 189 amended Education Code §42605 to grant
districts flexibility in State Tier III categorical programs, authorizes districts to use these
funds for any educational purpose, and requires identifying any programs that will be
closed. For the 2008-09 fiscal year through the 2014-15 fiscal year, inclusive, local
educational agencies that use the flexibility provision of this section shall be deemed to
be in compliance with the program and funding requirements contained in statutory,
regulatory and provisional language. As a condition of receipt of the funds, the
governing board is required, at a regularly scheduled open public hearing held prior to
and independent of a meeting where the governing board of the district adopts the annual
budget, to take testimony from the public, identify any program that is proposed to be
closed, discuss, approve or disapprove the proposed use of funding, and make explicit the
purposes for which the funding will be used.
Proposed Use of 2012-13 Tier III State Categorical Funds
It is recommended that the Board of Trustees consider approval of some and or all
funding amounts available from the 2012-13 Tier III State Categorical Funds as identified
on the attached list.
The Fair Share offset to categorical programs varies from year to year, and thus it is
difficult to predict exactly how much funding the District may receive in fiscal year
2012-13 for each program. Resolution 2012-10 will authorize the District to use available
state categorical funds for any instructional, operational and employee-related General
Fund expenditures during fiscal year 2012-13.
Recommendation
I recommend that after closing this public hearing, that the Board of Trustees adopt
Resolution 2012-10; Establishing Tier III Categorical Flexibility for fiscal year 2012-13.

RESOLUTION 2012-10 OF THE BOARD OF THE
Goleta Union School District
TIER III CATEGORICAL FLEXIBILTY
WHEREAS as added and amended by SBX3 4, ABX4 2, and SB 70, Education Code 42605
grants districts flexibility in “Tier III” categorical programs and authorizes districts to use these
funds for “any educational purpose, to the extent permitted by federal law.” For the 2008-09
fiscal year to the 2014-15 fiscal year, inclusive, local educational agencies that use the flexibility
provision of this section shall be deemed to be in compliance with the program and funding
requirements contained in statutory, regulatory, and provisional language.
WHEREAS as a condition of receipt of the funds, the governing board is required, at a regularly
scheduled open public hearing, to take testimony from the public, discuss, and approve or
disapprove the proposed use of funding and to make explicit the purposes for which the funding
will be used.
WHEREAS Assembly Bill (AB) 189, became effective January 1, 2012, and requires the Tier III
public hearing to be held prior to and independent of a meeting at which the budget is adopted.
AB 189 also requires a governing board to identify in the notice of the public hearing, any Tier
III program that is proposed to be closed.
WHEREAS attached to this resolution is a list of specific programs, the estimated funding
amounts, and the proposed activities for which the funds are to be expended identified by SACS
function code.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, following a public hearing in which public testimony
was taken, discussion regarding the proposed uses of the funds took place, and programs
proposed to be closed were identified on the attached list, the Goleta Union School District
adopts this Resolution approving the use of available funds for any General Fund purpose as
authorized through budget adoption and adjustments.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 13th Day of June, 2012 by the following vote:
Ayes:
Noes:
Abstained:
Absent:

responsibility and authority for all personnel matters, including organizing, reorganizing,
and arranging the administrative, supervisory and other staff, including instruction and

the primary responsibility for the execution of Board policy, whereas the Board shall

individually and collectively, will refer promptly all criticisms, complaints, and

14.
Management Hours. It is understood that the demands of the office will
require Superintendent to average more than an eight (8) hour workday or a forty (40)
hour workweek. It is also understood there will be times when the demands of the office

other personnel.

adequately perform the duties and responsibilities thereof. The Superintendent’s
performance of the duties and responsibilities of his/her office shall take precedence over
any such outside activities, and the Board may disapprove time-off by the Superintendent
during the normal workweek to engage in such outside activity. The Superintendent
agrees not to use District property or staff in performing outside professional activities
without prior Board approval. In no case will the District be responsible for any expenses
attendant to the performance of such outside activities unless prior Board approval is
obtained.
18.
Evaluation. The Board and the Superintendent shall annually develop

three months in order to informally assess the working relationship between the Board
and the Superintendent, and to evaluate the Superintendent’s progress toward the
established goals and objectives.
19.
Termination. This Agreement may be terminated on any of the following
bases:
a.
Mutual Consent. By mutual agreement, this Agreement may be
terminated at any time.
b.
Resignation. The Superintendent may resign and terminate this
Agreement only by providing the Board with at least ninety (90) days advance written
notice, unless the parties agree otherwise.
c.
Non-Renewal of Agreement by the District. The Board may
elect not to renew this Agreement upon its expiration by providing written notice to the
Superintendent in accordance with Education Code section 35031 (currently 45-days
prior notice), or other applicable provisions of law. The Superintendent shall inform the
Board President of this notice requirement at least ninety (90) days in advance of
expiration of this Agreement.
d.
Termination for Cause. If the Board determines that the
Superintendent has materially breached the terms of this Agreement or has neglected to
perform his/her duties under it, the Board may initiate termination for cause
proceedings against the Superintendent. For purposes of this Agreement, “cause” shall
exist if Superintendent: (1) violates Board policy or administrative regulations; (2)
refuses or fails to act in accordance with a specific provision of this Agreement or
directive or order of a majority of the Board; (3) exhibits dishonesty in regard to his/her
employment; (4) is convicted of a crime involving dishonesty, breach of trust, or
physical or emotional harm to any person; or, (5) is unable to perform the essential
functions of his/her position. The existence of such cause shall constitute a material
breach of this Agreement and shall extinguish all rights and duties hereunder. If cause
exists, the Governing Board shall immediately meet with the Superintendent and shall
submit all charges in writing for his/her review. If the Superintendent disputes the
charges, the Superintendent shall then be entitled to a conference before the Board in
closed session. The Superintendent and the Board shall each have the right to be
represented by counsel at their own expense. The Superintendent shall have a
reasonable opportunity to respond to all matters raised in the charges. The conference
with the Board shall not be an evidentiary hearing and neither party shall have the
5
5E
opportunity to call witnesses. If the Board, after considering all evidence presented,
decides to terminate this Agreement, it shall provide the Superintendent with a written
decision. The decision of the Board shall be final. The Superintendent’s conference
before the Board shall be deemed to satisfy the Superintendent’s entitlement to due
process of law and shall be the Superintendent’s exclusive right to any conference or
hearing otherwise required by law. The Superintendent waives any other rights that may
be applicable to this termination for cause proceeding with the understanding that
completion of this hearing exhausts the Superintendent’s administrative remedies and
then authorizes the Superintendent to contest the Board’s determination in a court of
competent jurisdiction.
e.
Termination without Cause. If, for any reason, without cause or
a hearing, at any time, the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that such action is in
the best interest of the District, the Board may unilaterally terminate this Agreement. In
consideration for the exercise of this right, the District shall pay to the Superintendent
from the date of termination until the expiration of this Agreement, or for a period of
eighteen (18) months, whichever is less, a monthly sum equal to the Superintendent’s
gross monthly salary at the salary rate in effect during his/her last month of service.
Payments to the Superintendent shall be made on a monthly basis unless
the parties agree in writing otherwise. As a condition of receiving such monthly
payments, the Superintendent shall be obligated to immediately seek other full-time
employment in good faith and to notify the District in writing immediately if
Superintendent earns income from any employment-related source.
For purposes of this Agreement, the term “salary” shall include only the
Superintendent’s regular monthly base salary and shall not include the value of any other
stipends, reimbursements or benefits received under this Agreement. All payments made
pursuant to this termination without cause provision shall be subject to applicable payroll
deductions and shall be treated as compensation for state and federal tax purposes. No
payments made pursuant to this early termination provision shall constitute creditable
service, creditable compensation or compensation earnable for CalSTRS or CalPERS
retirement purposes. Payments made pursuant to this termination without cause provision
shall be considered as final settlement pay; accordingly, no deductions shall be made for
retirement purposes.
The Superintendent shall also be entitled to a continued District
contribution toward health benefits, as those benefits may change from time-to-time, for
the remainder of the unexpired term of this Agreement, for a period of eighteen (18)
months, or until the Superintendent obtains other employment that provides health
insurance, whichever occurs first.
If the Superintendent is terminated without cause and elects to retire
instead of fulfilling the Superintendent’s obligation to seek other employment as set forth
above, the parties agree that, effective upon the date of the Superintendent’s retirement
with the CalSTRS or CalPERS, the amount paid to the Superintendent as salary shall be
reduced by the amount of retirement income earned from CalSTRS or CalPERS.
6
5E
The parties agree that any damages to the Superintendent that may result
from the Board’s early termination of this Agreement without cause cannot be readily
ascertained. Accordingly, the parties agree that the payments made pursuant to this
termination without cause provision, along with the District’s agreement to provide
health benefits, constitutes reasonable liquidated damages for the Superintendent, fully
compensates the Superintendent for all tort, contract, and other damages of any nature
whatsoever, whether in law or equity, and does not result in a penalty. The parties agree
that the District’s completion of its obligations under this provision constitutes the
Superintendent’s sole remedy to the fullest extent provided by law. Finally, the parties
agree that this provision meets the requirements governing maximum cash settlements as
set forth in Government Code section 53260 et seq. and that any payment of cash or other
consideration to the Superintendent pursuant to a settlement agreement resulting from the
termination of this Agreement by the Board is subject to the limitations and requirements
contained in Government Code sections 53260 et seq. and other applicable provisions of
law, as the law may be amended from time-to-time.
f.
Termination for Inappropriate Fiscal Practices.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Board
believes, and subsequently confirms through an independent audit, that the
Superintendent has engaged in fraud, misappropriation of funds, or other illegal fiscal
practices, then the Board may terminate the Superintendent without cause and the
Superintendent shall not be entitled to any cash, salary payments, health benefits or other
non-cash settlement as set forth above. This provision is intended to implement the
requirements of Government Code section 53260(b).
20.
Abuse of Office Provisions. In accordance with Government Code
section 53243 et seq., and as a separate contractual obligation, should the Superintendent
receive a paid leave of absence or cash settlement if this contract is terminated with or
without cause, such paid leave or cash settlement shall be fully reimbursed to the District
by the Superintendent if the Superintendent is convicted of a crime involving an abuse of
his office or position. In addition, if the District funds the criminal defense of the
Superintendent against charges involving abuse of office or position and the
Superintendent is then convicted of such charges, the Superintendent shall fully
reimburse the District all funds expended for his criminal defense.
21.
Notice of Finalist in Search. In all cases, the Superintendent
immediately shall notify the Board should he/she become a finalist in the selection
process for Superintendent with any other District.
22.
Waiver. No waiver of any breach of any term or provision of this
Agreement shall be construed to be, nor shall it be, a waiver of any other breach of this
Agreement. No waiver shall be binding unless in writing and signed by the party waiving
the breach.
23.
Complete Agreement. This Agreement constitutes and contains the entire
agreement and understanding between the parties concerning the Superintendent’s
employment with the District. This instrument supersedes and replaces all prior
agreements, modifications and addendums and all prior proposals and negotiations,
