Deeper Focus: Routine Restricted Maintenance Account

The Routine Restricted Maintenance Account (RRMA) has been the primary source of funding for school maintenance departments, and it has had a long history of being underfunded and suspended during difficult budget times. A brief history of RRMA funding shows that it has been consistently underfunded, “flexed” (i.e. allowed to be used for any one-time school expenditure not related to maintenance) during the 2008 Great Recession, and was folded into the LCAP when it was created (not technically cut but requires engagement in the LCAP process to justify maintenance funding related to the LCAP’s Eight State Priorities).

Message from the Chair – Tough Times Don’t Last – Tough People Do!

As with every aspect of American life, COVID-19 has changed the game for the education community, including the school facilities and maintenance sector.  California schools are confronted with questions on procedures and processes about cleaning and disinfecting to ensure learning environments are clean, safe and healthy. The opportunities and challenges presented by the necessity of distance learning, providing food to under-served students who might not otherwise have access to meals, and significant State funding challenges on the horizon.  CASH was born in conflict, and we are meeting these challenges as we always do through education and advocacy.
