ADOPTED BUDGET
FISCAL YEAR 2018-19
NARRATIVE
Situational Overview
The May Revision represents Governor Jerry Brown’s final State Budget proposal of his four terms as
Governor of California. Also, it is the final statutory opportunity for the Governor to update his economic
projections prior to enactment of the State Budget in June. Factors such as tax revenues, population
growth, and competing state priorities are all detailed in the Governor's May Revision.
This year, there was positive news in January when the Governor announced his proposal to fully fund the
Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) in 2018-19, two years earlier than originally planned. He also
proposed significant one-time discretionary funds scored against outstanding mandate claims, once again.
And the Governor proposed to continue funding Career Technical Education (CTE) grants outside of the
LCFF.
Highlights of SMA’s 2017-18 Adopted Budget reflect the funding increases:
> $46,251 increase projected in Local Revenue primari
SMA expects a significant increase in revenues over expenditures enabling the school to easily meet its
reserves as well as increase its Undesignated Fund Balance to well over $250,000.
Enrollment and ADA Analys
For this 2018-19 Adopted Budget, a conservative projected enrollment of 148 and projected ADA of
144,18 was used in the LCFF calculator.
The following table summarizes, for comparison, the 2018-19, 2017-18 P2 Actual:
Enrollment
ADARevenue Projection
Since the 2013-14 school year, California's Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) has been used to
determine a school’s projected principal apportionment for the year. It is the largest source of public
school funding. When used for school interim budgeting, the LCFF is based on a school’s projection of
‘Average Daily Attendance (ADA) at the next formal reporting petiod,
This adopted budget is based on SMA’s projection of the second Principal Apportionment for the P2
reporting period which ends on April 1, 2018.
In addition to higher General Purpose funding in the LCFF, SMA will receive a one-time $42,533
Discretionary Grant per 2017-18 P2.

REVENUE LESS EXPENDITURES 50,388 62,942 12,554Expenditure differences in this 2018-19 versus the 2nd Interim Budget are due to:
* Salary increase due to minimum wage increase and benefits increases, Full time Director and Full
time Special Ed teacher, Benefit costs
+ [less full time Administrative As:
Cash and Reserves
SMA’s net increase in fund balances easily covers all the required reserves and adds significantly to its
tundesignated balance of funds. SMA’s cash position, month by month, is quite sufficient to cover all
2018-19 expenses as they come due. While next year’s enrollment uncertainty is always a factor,
‘conservative fiscal management and a close eye on spending will ensure that SMA"s Cash and Reserves
position will continue to be not only stable but very positive,
‘The following table compares the 2017-18 2™ Interim Budget Cash and Reserves projection with that
projected in the 2018-19 Adopted Budget.

SMA is required to reserve 5% of expenditures for Economic Uncertainty. SMA is also required to place
2% of expenditures in a Special Education reserve, Reserves in this budget are higher than projected in
the Adopted budget due to this year’s higher projected expenditures,
Conclusion
SMA’s financial condition continues to improve. SMA"s teaching staff is solid and our educational
rogram is well regarded. Nearly all classes are wait-listed. Word of mouth contributes to most newenrollments. The school will continue to offer an excellent educational alternative to parents in the South
Nevada County area for years to come,EXHIBIT A,
