Budget Development Timeline
March Program & Budget Handbook is available/Estimated Rates- Allocation Letters received on March 23rd Schools Front End opens March 23rd
April Schools Front End closes on April 27th
Note: Due to this limited timeline, it is imperative that all school personnel and Educational Service
Center staff involved in the budget development process be available during this period. In other words, Budget Development must be a high priority for all participants.
12
Budget Development - Allocations
During Budget Development you will receive resources in the following program types:
General Programs – Unrestricted Fundse.g. Program 13027-General Fund School Program Program 10183-Targeted Student Population Program 13723-Categorical Block Grant Program 13724-In Lieu of EIA
Categorical Programs (If applicable) – Restricted Funds e.g.Program 7S046-Title 1 Schoolwide Program (SWP) Program 70S46-Title 1 Targeted Assistance Schools (TAS)
(1st year for new Schools only) Program 7E046-Parental Involvement Program 7S176-Title III
13
Budget Development - Allocations 14
Schools receive the following types of resources:
Funding to support the basic operational and instructional program at the school site. These funds support core positions such as administrators, teachers, counselors, and clerical staff.
Resources specific to individual school site needs, such as Campus Aides.
Resources based on unduplicated count of Low Income Students, Foster Youth and English Learner.
Centrally-budgeted resources and services, such as School Police and Gardeners.
Categorical allocations distributed by student characteristics, such as low-income or English Learner status. These resources are meant to supplement, not supplant, the school’s core program.
Budget Development - Allocations
Specially funded resources will continue to be allocated based on:
Title I Ranking Number of free and reduced-price meal application data
Identified English Learner (EL) Count - TIII English Learner (EL) count is based on prior year R-30 Language
Census data
15
Budget Development - Allocations
Accelerated Academic Literacy (AAL) -Program 11448
BD allocation will be based on FY 14-15 norm day Allocations will be adjusted based on FY 15-16 norm day A review of the schools that received the allocation will be
performed during the 1st semester to confirm that schools with allocations are running the AAL program
Schools found not running the program but have received the resources will be notified and the allocation will be removed in the 2nd semester
Schools not showing AAL enrollment as of norm day but actually running the program may request for funding
Approval will be dependent on available resources
16
Budget Development - Allocation Letters
School Allocation Notifications will be generated through Business Tools for Schools (BTS). School principals will receive e-mail notifications from the system with two attachments.

Guidelines & Flexibility 21
Schools have the flexibility to implement budgets that meet the unique instructional and operational priorities of their school sites.
Schools are encouraged to consider all of their available resources, including categorical funds, as they build their budgets.
The flexibility for resources included are subject to State and Federal laws, collective bargaining unit agreements, Personnel Commission rules, Human Resources Division Rules & Policies, court orders and consent decrees.
If schools implement flexibility to close positions, these positions cannot be repurchased from Categorical Programs and Targeted Student Population programs. This is to ensure that Specially Funded resources supplement, not supplant the District’s core program.
Positions must be budgeted at the level of the assigned employee.
Any flexibility exercised over positions will only be valid for that fiscal year. Each fiscal year during Budget Development, the District will reset school staffing patterns to match the District’s recommended levels of staffing.
Guidelines & Flexibility 22
Certificated Employee Guidelines
Register-Carrying Teachers If the District’s financial condition is such that Article XVIII –
Class Size cannot be met, the class sizes should not exceed 2015-2016 class size maximums approved by the Board of Education. (See the School Fiscal Services website sfs.lausd.net for the 2015-2016 teacher staffing ratios.)
The Step and Level of norm generated positions should not be changed during Budget Development. Adjustments can be made once Budget Services has processed Budget to Actuals after Norm Day.
Itinerant Arts Teachers Board resolution established Arts Education as a Core
Subject. Standards-based arts instruction must be available to elementary school students
Guidelines & Flexibility 23
Certificated Employee Guidelines
Physical Education Teacher Incentive -(PETIP) Board resolution restored Physical Education Teacher Incentive

Guidelines & Flexibility 24
Certificated Employee GuidelinesDay-to-Day and Long-Term Substitutes Ten days of day-to-day substitute time per norm generated
register carrying teacher should be budgeted. (See the General Fund School Program Manual.)
If teacher attendance is high, schools will have more resources available to support other school-site needs. On the other hand, schools with low teacher attendance will need to budget using the District’s standard. The District will review absence data throughout the year and share with Administrators of Operations at ESCs accordingly.
Register-carrying teachers that are budgeted through Specially Funded Programs will be allocated 6 substitute days after Budget Development in program code 13027.
Guidelines & Flexibility 25
Certificated Employee GuidelinesDay-to-Day and Long-Term Substitutes (cont’d) The day-to-day substitute rate includes the higher cost of
Contracted Pool Teachers functioning as first substitutes of the day.
The cost of long-term substitutes for teachers on approved paid leaves will be covered by the District. The cost of long-term substitutes for vacant positions or for teachers on unpaid leaves is covered by the position.

General Guidelines for Program 13027
Advances in Salary Table Pay Scale will be calculated after Human Resources and Personnel Commission have processed changes in staff due to Norm Day. If the net cost of positions is projected to increase, funds will be provided.
The Principal will have final decision-making authority for Program 13027, subject to the approval of the Educational Service Center Superintendent or designee. Principals are expected to engage their school community in the budget-building process.
Guidelines & Flexibility
Targeted Student Population-(Program 10183) Positions, services, and programs funded with Program 10183 must support
the needs of the students that generated these resources: Low Income English Learners Foster Youth
Positions budgeted in the Targeted Student Program should be budgeted at their actual costs.
For register carrying-teachers, four days of substitute time must be budgeted in the program. Another six days of substitute time will be allocated in the General Fund School Program 13027.
If schools close positions that are allocated to them in Program 13027, these positions cannot be re-purchased from the Targeted Student Program. This is to ensure that Targeted Student Program resources supplement, not supplant, the District’s core program.
Core services must be budgeted in the General Fund School Program before purchasing additional resources in the Targeted Student Program. These resources include Norm Register-Carrying teachers, Counselors, Nurses, Psychologists, and Clerical.
31
Accountability 32
Positions must be budgeted at the level of the assigned employee. Not budgeting at actual salary levels may result in overdrafts to your school’s budget.
Schools are responsible for any additional assignment costs related to positions that are purchased above the District’s staffing levels. For teachers, this includes the 10 substitute days, any differentials, and salary pay scale increases.
Vacant positions above core must be budgeted at the District average cost.
Norm Day Settle-Up
School’s projected expenditures will be updated to reflect staffing ratios and resources under Norm Day enrollment counts.
If applicable, Budget Services will open positions and allocate additional resources.
For schools that are losing resources, Budget Services will close positions and reduce resources.
Resources for Nurses and Psychologist will not be updated for Norm Day enrollment counts
33
Norm Day Settle-Up – Specially Funded Programs
The following categories of schools will have their categorical allocations adjusted based on norm day data:
New Schools Sending Schools Reconfigured Schools (adding or losing a grade level)
If English Learner (EL) resources are allocated based on estimates, then all K-12 schools EL funds allocations will be adjusted based on norm day data.
34
General Fund School Program 13027 balances will carryover
(subject to change): Positive or negative ending program balance will carryover in its
entirety Overdrafts in program 11103 –Unfunded Off Norm Positions and
program 11141 – Off Norm position will be moved into Program 13027
Other Programs: Program code 10400 & 10405 will carryover positive or negative

Shared cost centers have been established for schools that share a school facility.
Shared cost centers can be used for budgeting positions if the position costs are shared by multiple home cost centers.
Only Certificated non-register carrying positions and Classified positions may be shared.
The costs of the shared positions must be budgeted in the appropriate Itinerant SS budget item, using Line Type 20THS-L.
Budget Services has allocated dollars for shared positions based on enrollment percentages. Schools can agree to use alternative percentages.
Twelve (12) is the maximum number of funding lines per itinerant position.
Schools must provide their Fiscal Specialist with an Itinerant Position Requisition (IPR) form for shared itinerant positions indicating the actual program and funding percentage for each home cost center.
52Shared cost centers
Example:
The Principals of two cost centers sharing one campus decide to share 50% of the cost of an Office Technician position ($50,000).
Each Principal must budget $25,000 in the ITIN SS OFFICE TECH budget item at their location.
They must submit one Itinerant Position Request (IPR) form to request that a position be established at the shared cost center.
53
Shared cost centers53
General Fund Program Guidelines – (Programs 13027, 13938, 10183 & 14242)
Schools should budget positions at the actual cost of the incumbent. If the actual cost is not known at the time of the creation of the itinerant position, it should be budgeted at the District average cost and adjusted as soon as the incumbent is assigned.
Specially Funded Programs (SFP) – (Title I, Title III, etc.)
Schools are allowed to budget positions at the District’s average cost. Register Carrying Teachers – sharing the cost of a register-carrying teacher is not allowed.
Other Funds Cafeteria resources (SACS Fund 130) are not eligible to be moved to shared
cost centers.
Other Non-position Lines (i.e. IMA, General Supplies, Teacher X/Z, Overtime, Contracts)
Other Non-position lines are not eligible to be established at shared cost centers.

Norm Day Settle Up
By Norm Day, average daily attendance data for the 2014-2015 school year will be available. The District will then update your school’s projected ADA for the 2015-2016 school year using your 2015-2016 norm day enrollment counts and 2014-2015 ADA percentage. Using this new projected ADA, and the per pupil rate from Budget Development, the District will calculate a new Norm Day allocation for your school. This allocation will be compared to your school’s allocation from Budget Development.
In addition, your school’s projected expenditures will be updated to reflect staffing ratios and resources based on Norm Day enrollment counts. The revised expenditures will be compared to your projected expenditures from Budget Development. The District will implement increases or decrease to your school’s General Fund School Program Allocation, if applicable.
61Pilot Schools
Affiliated Charter Schools existing prior to fiscal year 2013-2014 will continue to receive funding in the following programs: Program codes will remain as 13723-Charter School Block
Grant and 13724-In Lieu of EIA. During budget development resources will be allocated
based on a prior year’s Average Daily Attendance (ADA) times a per pupil rate. After norm day, the allocation will be adjusted based on the most current ADA. School budgets will be adjusted positively or negatively.
Schools should continue funding for Textbooks, Class Size Reduction Teachers, Gifted and Talented Program, Peer Assistance Review and English Language Acquisition Program from their Charter School Block Grant.
Staffing Position Simulator tool is available on the School Fiscal Service Branch website. This tool provides schools transparency as to how Norm Teacher counts are calculated based on enrollment, Norm Category, and Affiliated Charter status.
