• There are three major risks to the state and, by extension, the
education budget
• The potential for an overheated economy largely due to run away
inflation caused by:
• Unrelenting supply chain blockages • Worker shortages • Nearly
unparalleled levels of federal spending
• Wall Street reaction to inflationary pressures and future Federal
Reserve actions on interest rates
• This is particularly important for the California State Budget as
the General Fund relies heavily on the wealth of high earners
• Potential resurgence of COVID-19 due to vaccine resistant
variants or under- vaccinated populations
Risks to the Budget
Governor’s May Proposal • Targeted intervention grant
• Approximately $3.5-$3.9 million in one-time funds • In-person
instruction – health & safety grant
• Approximately $2.6-$2.9 million in one-time funds • Increase
concentration grant from 50% to 65% of the
adjusted base grant • No funding for AUSD
Enacted Budget • Expanded Learning Opportunity Program (ELOP)
• Approximately $600K to $1M in annual funding • Unemployment
Insurance – buy down of .7% • Deferral paydown • Increase
concentration grant from 50% to 65% of the
adjusted base grant • No funding for AUSD

Independent Study for 2021-22
• The distant learning statute expired June 30th. On July 9th new
guidance was released in the form of AB 130, which made significant
changes to Independent Study.
• A survey was sent to families at the end of last school year
inquiring whether they intended to return to campus this year. We
got a very modest response from elementary families indicating that
they would like to remain off campus (>20).
• Elementary families will be offered an Inter-District Transfer to
a neighboring district this is offering an Independent Study
program to students in grades TK-5.
• AUSD is offering Independent Study to it’s secondary school
students.

Edmentum. • 9th grade courses will be A-G aligned, honors courses
are not offered.
Students in Grades 10-12: • Core curriculum is primarily assigned
by the Ind Study teacher and is
aligned with AUSD course standards • Curriculum that requires
traditional ‘on-campus’ instruction that is A-G
approved (ex. foreign languages, lab sciences, etc.) will be
delivered through Edmentum.
• AP Courses will not be available through Independent Study.
Students who would like to pursue accelerated courses are
encouraged to take concurrent courses at Peralta Colleges.

Credit Recovery & Grading Options
On July 1, 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill (AB)
104, providing significant opportunities for all students, but
particularly for high school students.
1. High school students may request that a letter grade from the
2020-2021 school year be changed to a Pass or No Pass grade;
2. Certain 2020-2021 high school juniors and seniors are allowed to
graduate without meeting all local graduation requirements. Schools
are required to provide additional support towards graduation
including a fifth year of high school, credit recovery, or some
other opportunity to complete CA State graduation
requirements.
3. The bill also provides parents of “eligible pupils” a
supplemental review process to consider retention at the 2020-2021
grade level, if desired. “Eligible pupil” is defined as a student
who has received a D, F, or No Pass grade for at least one-half of
the student’s coursework in the 2020-2021 school year, but does not
include a pupil enrolled in grade 12 during the 2020-21 school
year.
Presenter

to provide two school meals during each school day to

student’s eligibility for federally funded free or reduced-price
meals (limited to one meal per each meal service period)
• On-going Prop 98 funding for the state reimbursement to cover the
cost of providing free meals
• May create a challenge in collecting Free and Reduced Meal
applications, a significant contributor to the District’s LCFF
