Greetings Mt Baldy community and residents,

As you know, the state fiscal problems have severely impacted school districts throughout the state over the past several years. Our district is no exception. We are receiving nearly $200,000 per year less than we would were we at full funding. The state budget signed by Governor Brown this past June also has the potential for further mid-year cuts. Whether these cuts occur depends upon a set of triggers that may happen in December, depending upon the amount of tax revenues the state receives. The worst-case scenario for us is that we may lose approximately $40,000 if all of the triggers occur. It may not sound like a lot if you have been reading about budget cuts in other districts, but that amount is about 4% of our overall budget. We have planned for this potential loss of funding so that it will not impact our educational program this year. I know that we all hope that the fiscal situation in our state begins to improve soon.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Kevin Vaughn

Superintendent/Principal

Mt Baldy School District is a single-school district located in the village of Mt Baldy. The village is part of the San Gabriel Mountain range approximately 50 miles northeast of Los Angeles, California. The school has a stable enrollment of about 105 students from kindergarten to 8th grade. Approximately 60% of our student body attends school with inter-district attendance permits (parents live outside Mt Baldy’s attendance boundaries). Some parents transport their student from as far away as 50 miles. The school’s most recent API is 890, and the district has never scored below 800. The district uses student grades and the STAR Testing Program scores as multiple measures to assess the percentage of students who meet grade level standards. School-wide, 67% of our students achieve at or above grade-level standards in language arts and 73%.barbie oyunları cerezoyun.com
