CERTIFICATION OF FIRST Colleen Patterson, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services, INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT presented a report on the financial status of the District as of FOR FISCAL YEAR 2009/10 October 31, 2010. California law requires that superintendents of school districts submit reports to the governing board as least twice each year at a regularly scheduled Board meeting. The first report CERTIFICATION OF FIRST must be for the period ending October 31 and the second report for INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT the period ending January 31. The reports are referred to as First FOR FISCAL YEAR 2009/10 and Second Interim Financial Reports. (Continued) 436 December 7, 2010

If a district meets financial obligations for the current and two subsequent fiscal years, a positive certificate is submitted. If a district cannot or may not meet financial obligations for the current fiscal year and two subsequent fiscal years, a negative or qualified certification must be sent to the State Controller and State Department of Education. The purpose of the interim reporting requirements is to ensure timely notification to the State Controller and the Superintendent of Public Instruction of districts which may not be able to fulfill financial obligations for the remainder of the fiscal year. The early warning mechanism of interim financial reports allows corrective actions to be implemented.

The 2010/11 First Interim Report and the State Standards and Criteria Budget Review Checklist, submitted for Board certification, covers the period of July 1, through October 31, 2010. Based upon the analysis of the District’s financial condition, the District is qualified and may not be able to meet its obligation in the current and subsequent two years.

In certifying the 2010/11 First Interim Financial Report as qualified, the Board of Trustees understands its fiduciary responsibility to maintain fiscal solvency for the current and subsequent two fiscal years. The District will implement ongoing decreases in addition to those already adopted in the 2010/11 budget to the extent possible. The District cannot meet its obligations under AB 1200 without negotiating concessions from its bargaining units. Further, the District will submit a detailed list of Board-approved ongoing budget reductions and the status of each with the 2010/11 Second Interim.

It was moved, seconded, and carried by unanimous vote (5-0) to approve a qualified certification that the Fullerton Joint Union High School District may not be able to meet the District’s financial obligations for the remainder of 2010/11 plus two subsequent fiscal years, and the Superintendent/designee was authorized to submit the qualified certification to the County Superintendent of Schools.
