Twin Rivers Unified School District

Twin Rivers Unified School District

Some families have asked why the District has not released additional budget projections. 
 
The District’s financial information is public and reviewed annually by the Sacramento County Office of Education, which independently monitors the District’s fiscal health. The fiscal concerns we have raised are also consistent with the findings of the independent fact-finding panel. 
 
There is a false narrative that the District is hoarding money in its budget. That simply is not true. As of the last official reporting period ending January 31, 2026, the District projects an unrestricted ending fund balance in the General Fund of 10.46% of expenditures. Compare that to the State average of unified districts, which is 24.36%, and the District has less than half the average reserve for school districts. Further, Fund 40 is not being used to hoard money. The District received hundreds of millions during the pandemic and spent, not saved, most of that money for construction projects, which are evident by the improvements you see in schools districtwide. Any claim we do not spend our money on students is patently false.
