Who decides

The Board of Education has five members. It holds a public hearing on the budget. It then adopts the annual budget by July 1 for the coming fiscal year. That is Ed. Code section 42127(a). The County Superintendent may conditionally approve or disapprove a budget. That happens when the budget lacks adequate assurance the district can meet its obligations. That is section 42127(b)(2). Five elected trustees, one per trustee area.

Who Taxes Me lists this board's seats once a public map of its districts can be checked. Until then, the board itself is the way to reach it.
