UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

EMMA C., et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

DELAINE EASTIN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 96-cv-04179-TEH 

ORDER RE: REASSESSMENT OF 

MONITOR’S BUDGET 

ALLOCATION FY 2015-2016

On June 18, 2015, the Court provided an estimated allocation of the Monitor’s 

budget for Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2015-2016 between the District and CDE (collectively 

“Defendants”). Docket Nos. 2064, 2065. The fiscal year has concluded, and the Court has 

reviewed the Monitor’s monthly timesheets to determine the actual expenditure of time 

and services between District-related and State-related matters. Of the approximately 697 

overall hours of work reflected in the Monitor’s timesheets, approximately 123 hours were 

spent on “general” items,1

approximately 352 hours were spent on District-related items,2

and approximately 222 hours were spent on State-related items.3 

 Considering the actual time expended on each category of tasks, and remaining 

consistent with the long-standing principle that CDE must share a portion (20% for FY

2015-2016) of the costs for District-related expenses, the reassessed allocation of the 

Monitor’s budget is as follows:

 

1

 “General” tasks include: financial management; timesheets; supervision of office 

staff; budget preparation and allocations; meetings regarding office issues; etc. 

2 District-related tasks include: CD 6.1.8 resume review, interviews, and memoranda; 

meetings regarding the RSIP, District staffing and general issues; review of SST, 

behavioral and attendance data; MTSS meetings; review and analysis of RSIP data; report 

writing (including concluding report); updating the Court on the status of the RSIP; meetand-confers regarding the RSIP; meetings/phone calls with counsel; etc. 

3

 State-related tasks include: reviewing and reporting on CDE’s complaint resolution; 

review of compensatory education reports; review of Court documents; assisting Court 

with internal memoranda; creation of CAP database; review and analysis of CAP 

submissions and Plaintiffs’ comments; writing CAP reports; meet-and-confers; 

meetings/phone calls with counsel; etc.

The Court, after consulting with the Monitor, has determined that the best course of 

action is to reduce the Defendants’ upcoming deposits for FY 2016-2017 in accordance 

with the amount owed to each Defendant. Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the 

Defendants meet and confer with the Monitor via telephone to discuss the details of such 

reduction no later than Thursday, July 21, 2016.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
