This interim financial report from December 2011 summarizes the district's current budget situation and projections. It finds that while the district can currently meet obligations for 2011-2012, expenditure reductions are needed to balance the budget in 2012-2013. Projections show deficits of $7.8 million in 2012-2013 and $12.1 million in 2013-2014 unless further actions are taken. The report recommends the Board of Trustees approve submission of the interim report with a "Qualified" certification due to the inability to claim meeting obligations in subsequent years.

10. Deficit Spending
 Projected expenditures in 2011-12 now
exceed projected revenue by $9,904,408
 Significant reserve from prior year is being
used to fulfill current year obligations
 Deficit spending trend is unsustainable

11. Good News, Bad News
 Good News:
 As a result of expenditure reductions and fiscal
prudence, the projected deficit for 2012-2013 has
reduced from $11.3 million (June) to $7.8 million
 Bad News:
 Projected deficit for 2013-14 remains at $12.1
million due to combination of ongoing deficit
spending (which results in declining reserves),
projected increased expenses and projected
decreasing revenues

12. Financial Implications
 Combination of deficit spending and
projected reduction in reserves creates a
condition where we can not claim that we can
meet obligations in subsequent years.
 As a result, we are self-certifying the CUSD as
“qualified” in our submission to San Diego
County Office of Education

13. Recommendation
 It is respectfully recommended that the
Board of Trustees approve submission of the
interim financial report as of October 31,
2011, including “Qualified” certification
