Facing a mandatory state deadline today, Dixon Unified leaders, when they meet tonight, are expected to approve the school district’s 2016-17 budget and its accompanying Local Control Accountability Plan.
The five-member governing board, after a series of presentations and public hearings earlier this year, will sign off on a good-news budget, with $33.2 in revenues exceeding $32.9 million in expenses, an ending balance of $3.2 million, and $2.3 million in prudent reserves.
And they will sign off on the LCAP, which guides virtually all spending in the 3,500-student, rural eastern Solano County district, especially for programs meant to help minorities, low-income and foster youth.
