Cambrian Budget Advisory Committee
Are you interested in helping shape the future of the Cambrian
School District? Cambrian School District (CSD) is launching a Budget Advisory Committee (BAC) in December 2019 that will be led by CSD’s Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Penny Timboe. The primary purpose of the Budget Advisory Committee will be to understand the District’s budget cycle, assumptions used for budget development, calculation of the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) process as a means to make recommendations to the Superintendent as to how CSD can develop financial strategies to ensure a long term sustainable funding model that supports Cambrian’s mission and vision.
The recommendations will focus on ways to increase various sources of funding from the community, nonprofit, businesses, state and federal sources and how to work collaboratively with Home and School Clubs and the Cambrian Education Foundation to achieve the mission and vision of the CSD. Recommendations will also include ways to grow community-wide communication that will help with the overall understanding of the Cambrian School District’s
financial outlook.

Turn in your Comfort Kids
In the event of a severe earthquake or other emergency, our children may have to stay at school for a considerable length of time. We would like to be prepared in order to make our children as comfortable as possible. Therefore, parents are being asked to assemble a "comfort kit" containing items necessary for basic survival needs for nourishment and comfort.
Please turn in a few family items and send them to school at your earliest convenience in a GALLON-sized zip-locking bag. Children can help gather the items. The bags will be stored in the classrooms and returned home at year-end. Please clearly label each item with your child's name.
