EMMA C., et al.,

Case No. 96-cv-04179-VC

Plaintiffs,
ORDER RE: FY 2017-2018 BUDGET

v.
TOM TORLAKSON, et al.,
Defendants.

On August 11, 2017, the Court Monitor filed an amended budget for Fiscal Year 20172018 (Dkt. No. 2316), as directed by the Court in the budget reassessment order (Dkt. No. 2315
at 4). The amended budget reflects the end of monitoring for the Ravenswood School District
and the adoption of a transition plan for the District on July 31, 2017 (Dkt. No. 2314).
In past years, the budget for the parent advocacy project was allocated between the
District and the CDE in the same way that the RSIP budget was allocated. When RSIP
monitoring ended on July 31, 2017, the RSIP budget was terminated as no longer necessary.
Dkt. No. 2314 at 13-14. The District and CDE met and conferred regarding the allocation of the
parent advocacy budget and have agreed to allocate this budget 35% to CDE and 65% to the
District for Fiscal Years 2017-2018 and 2018-2019.
The Monitor has provided his best estimates as to allocation percentages, and the Court
orders the allocation of the Fiscal Year 2017-2018 budget as follows:

District’s remaining obligation of $31,250.50. In addition, CDE should inform the Court

deposit for future years' budgets.
