Bill > AB757

This bill modifies the existing requirements for school district budget reporting and approval. Currently, school district superintendents must submit two financial reports each fiscal year - one covering the period ending October 31 and another covering the period ending January 31. The original law required both reports to be approved by the district's governing board within 45 days of the reporting period's end. The bill introduces a specific exception for years with a regular election for governing board members: in such years, the report for the October 31 period can now be approved no later than December 20, instead of within the previous 45-day window. This change provides additional flexibility for school districts during years with board member elections, recognizing that the organizational meeting and transition of board members might impact the typical reporting timeline. The bill also makes some minor technical updates, such as replacing gendered language ("him or her") with gender-neutral terminology ("them") and updating some governmental body references.
