California Education Code section 42130 requires school districts to submit to their governing boards interim reports detailing their financial and budgetary status. The First Interim report shall cover the period ended October 31, and is required to be approved by the governing board no later than 45 days after the close of this period. The governing board shall then certify whether the district can meet its financial obligations for the remainder of the school year and the subsequent two years. Certifications are known as positive, qualified, or negative, and shall be filed by the board with the County Education Office.
The Santa Maria Joint Union High School District’s 1st Interim Report will be presented to the Board at its regularly scheduled December meeting, with a recommendation that a positive certification be filed with the County Education Office. The full report can be accessed here.
