South Whittier School District held its monthly board meeting on Tuesday, March 4, in person and through Google Meet.
The Board and attendees heard two presentations. The presentations included the 2024-2025 WASA Community Service Award and the second interim report.
2024-2025 WASA Community Service Award
The District honored Chik-Fil-A Whittier as they have been steadfast supporters of South Whittier School District since they opened in November 2023.
The Board honored Owner and Operator, Farid Khansarinia, and Marketing Director, Heather Ramirez, for their commitment to fostering meaningful relationships and actively participating in district events which has included South Whittier Health and Wellness Fair, the Title I Parent Conference, and Enrollment Day, as well as various school site activities like assemblies and family nights. They have also provided student recognition certificates, incentives, and meals for staff appreciation events.
Associate Superintendent of Educational Services, Dr. Rodriguez, shared, "Under Mr. Khansarinia and Ms. Ramirez’s leadership, Chick-fil-A Whittier has not only provided support but has also created fundraising opportunities for schools, reinforcing their dedication to enriching the lives of students, families, and staff. Their commitment to making a difference has made Chick-fil-A a valued community partner for the South Whittier School District.”
Second Interim Financial Report
Associate Superintendent of Business Services, Aubrey Craig, gave a presentation regarding the second interim financial report for 2024-2025.
To begin the presentation, Mr. Craig shared the cycle of the LCAP budget and where we currently are in that cycle. He stated that these findings are a representation of the District’s financial position as of January 31, 2025.
Mr. Craig presented the different elements of the budget including revenue assumptions and expenditure assumptions. He then discussed the budget year financial status, both restricted and unrestricted, and compared the second interim findings to the first interim results. The presentation then showed multi-year projections which included assumptions, restricted and unrestricted funds, and ending balance components.
The result of the findings ended with a positive certification of the financial report.
South Whittier School District will hold its next board meeting on Tuesday, April 15, 2025.
