San Fernando Elementary School District

In fiscal year 2017, San Fernando ESD’s student passage rates on state assessments were lower than its peer districts’ averages, and the District’s operations were reasonably efficient overall for its small size. The District spent less per pupil on administrative, food service, and transportation costs than its peer districts averaged. Although the District spent slightly more per pupil on plant operations, its higher costs were in large part due to having higher communications costs, likely reflecting the District’s remote location. However, the District needs to strengthen some management, accounting, computer, and transportation controls.
