                        Members of the Board of Trustees
                        Los Angeles Community College District
      HARBOR
                        Dear Members of the Board of Trustees:
      MISS ION

      PIE RCE           In accordance with the approved 2021-22 Budget Calendar, presented
                        herein is the 2021-22 Tentative Budget for your consideration and approval.
   SOUT HWEST
                        The main purpose of the Tentative Budget is to serve as authorization for
   T R AD E - T E C H   the District to incur expenses in the new fiscal year until the Final Budget is
                        approved. Per our consultation and governance model, the Tentative
      V AL L E Y
                        Budget was reviewed and approved earlier this month by the District Budget
        WEST            Committee (DBC) and the Board Budget and Finance Committee.

                        The development of the District budget is an annual and evolving process.
                        The District’s annual funding for general purposes is heavily dependent on
                        state general revenue projections, starting with the State Governor’s
                        proposed budget in January 2021. The district budget is then revised to
                        reflect more accurate state revenue projections and proposed allocations
                        through the Governor’s May Revise budget. The final state budget is
                        expected to be signed by the Governor on or before June 30, 2021.

                        The 2021-22 Tentative Budget was developed using the Governor’s
                        January budget proposal. As such the Tentative Budget is based on the
                        minimum state apportionment funding guarantee of $642 million plus COLA
                        of 1.70 percent. In 2019-20, the Board approved a new District Allocation
                        Model that better aligns with the new state-adopted, Student-Centered
                        Funding Formula. This allocation was used for the Tentative Budget.

                        In January 2021, the Administration projected a state surplus, which at May
                        Revise has grown to over $70 billion. The State Budget this year will hit its
                        spending limit which, by law, requires a tax refund and requires more
                        funding to go to Proposition 98, our major source of revenue for K-12
                        schools and community colleges. The prudent approach the Administration
                        is taking includes avoiding future unfunded liabilities, so many of the
                        Governor’s proposals for next year focus on one-time investments.

                        The May Revise proposals align with our District’s priorities and interests
                        with a focus on post-pandemic recovery, restoring institutional resources,
                        investing in diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, promoting college
                        affordability, addressing student basic needs and strengthening workforce
                        and pathways partnerships.

                        The 2021-22 May Revise proposes a $5.6 billion increase in funding to K-
Office (213) 891-2201
                        12 and community colleges over the January budget proposal. In total,
 Fax (213) 891-2304     $93.7 billion is provided to K-14 education in the 2021-22 fiscal year. The
      laccd.edu         proposed increases to the General Fund for the community colleges

includes a 0.5 percent increase for growth in the Student-Centered Funding Formula, a
Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) of 4.05 percent, $250 million to provide emergency
financial assistance grants to students, $120 million to support retention and enrollment
strategies, $115 million to expand Zero-Textbook pathways, $314 million for deferred
maintenance as well as other one-time expenditures. The May Revise also calls to pay
down in full the prior year Community Colleges deferrals.

The District’s 2021-22 Tentative Budget of $4.9 billion for all funds reflects the following
major budget areas:

   •   Building Fund (Prop. A, AA, J and Measure CC)                      $ 3.7 billion
   •   Unrestricted General Fund                                          $ 820.8 million
   •   Student Financial Aid Fund                                         $ 240.8 million
   •   Restricted General Fund (categorical and specially funded)         $ 109.2 million
       Special Reserve Fund (State Funded Capital Outlay Projects)        $ 50.0 million
   •   Bookstore Fund                                                     $ 16.9 million
   •   Debt Services Fund                                                 $ 7.1 million
   •   Child Development Centers Fund                                     $ 2.2 million
   •   Cafeteria Fund                                                     $ 0.5 million

We are following the budget negotiations in Sacramento very closely, and are prepared
to revise our revenue and expense projections in response to the 2021-22 Final State
Budget. The Final Budget is scheduled to be presented to the Board’s Budget and
Finance Committee for review at its August 18, 2021 meeting and then to the full Board
at its September 1, 2021 meeting for discussion and final approval.

Your attention is directed to the Overview section of this document that presents a
discussion of the state’s fiscal environment, our current revenue projections, and
appropriations. As is customary for this stage of budget development, appropriations
reflect early District planning and, therefore, changes are expected before completion of
the 2021-22 Final Budget.

Respectfully,

Francisco C. Rodriguez, Ph.D.
