Bad financial tidings for school districts (but not in San Joaquin County)

Roger Phillips — Mon, 21 May 2012 20:25:00 +0000

California school districts periodically are given certifications based on the state of their finances. If districts have their finances in order and have shown the ability to meet fiscal obligations for the current and next two fiscal years, they receive positive certification. If they may not be able to meet those obligations, they receive qualified certification. If they clearly cannot meet their obligations, they receive negative certification.

Not long ago, Stockton Unified received a qualified certification. It was the only qualified district in San Joaquin County, but since has lifted itself back into positive territory. Today, the state released its latest lists of districts with qualified and negative certifications.

No San Joaquin County districts appear on either of the dubious lists. Interestingly, Sacramento and Stanlislaus counties did not fare so well.
