What this document actually says
This resolution authorizes how Reed Union School District will spend $201,970 in Education Protection Account (EPA) funds for the 2025-26 school year. EPA funds come from Proposition 30, a 2012 voter-approved measure that temporarily raised sales and income taxes to fund education. State law requires districts to publicly decide how to spend these funds and prohibits using them for administrator salaries or administrative costs. The Board of Trustees approved spending all $201,970 on certificated (teaching) staff salaries and benefits for classroom instruction across all schools. The district must publish this spending plan on its website and verify proper use through annual audits.
What this means for your family
This funding supports teacher salaries across all Reed Union schools. The $201,970 in state education funds will go directly to classroom instruction by paying for teaching staff rather than administration. This helps maintain current teacher staffing levels and instructional programs that directly benefit students in the classroom.
