Districts must consider and calculate their total exposure under a worst-case scenario, while understanding a host of variables will alter these calculations several times in the coming months.

Deferred Maintenance Fund Expenditures for this fund support the District s Five-Year Deferred Maintenance Plan. Costs reflected in services and operating expenses remain the same, and the use of Deferred Maintenance funds in support of Seismic Safety Bond projects is ongoing. The Board-approved deferred maintenance contract for 2011-12 transpired after January 31, 2012, and is not included in multi-year projections.
Deferred Maintenance DM funds are used in support of the Seismic Safety Bond Program where appropriate DM fund projections show modest growth over the multi-year projections

State School Facilities Fund The State School Facilities Fund is where restricted money received from the State of California for the modernization and construction of school facilities is held.
