19 14) Interim Report Certifications Satisfies: Election of 1998: Series 2012B Item 4b; Election of 2007: Series 2012 Item 4b California school districts are required to prepare and submit interim financial reports during each fiscal year. Both the 1 st and 2 nd Interim Reports are reviewed by the District Board of Education and submitted to the Los Angeles County Office of Education. Based upon the information provided within the Interim Report, a certification of either positive, qualified or negative is assigned. Positive certifications indicate that a district s General Fund meets State minimum fund balance reserve requirements in the fiscal year to which the report pertains, as well for the next two projected fiscal years. Qualified certifications typically indicate that projected fund balance reserve levels may not meet state requirements in future years. Negative certifications usually indicate that current and projected fund balances reserves are below State minimum requirements. In recent years, uncertainty about the level of State funding for California school districts has resulted in volatility in budgeted and projected General Fund revenues. Such volatility has resulted in reduced revenue projections, which in turn reduce projected fund balance reserve levels. The District s most recent 2 nd Interim Report for the Fiscal Year was certified as qualified due to projected fund balance reserve levels below requirements. The District expects to enact budget cuts and revise projected revenues in the current and future fiscal years to allow for adequate projected fund balance reserve levels. The table below provides a history of the District s interim report certifications for fiscal years through Fiscal Year First Interim Certification Second Interim Certification Positive Positive Positive Positive Positive Qualified Positive Positive Positive Positive Qualified Qualified Source: Page 18
