District expected more than it received in the wake of budget cuts
The San Diego Unified School district got an unwelcome surprise about some expected revenue from the state.
They learned in a meeting Tuesday night that $2.5 million promised by the state won't be coming, reports voiceofsandiego.org.
The report says that the board expected to get around $36 million, but in the wake of the budget’s passing, only received $20 million.
This means they won't be able to recall some of the laid-off staff, as was planned last month. "This is a very sobering report," Superintendent Bill Kowba said to VOSD. "The common theme is incredible risk from one week to the next."
Almost half the district’s day-to-day funds from the state will come in late. The district will have to borrow to cover these costs until the funds arrive.
Schools will now only receive $20 million in the upcoming year. This means the 300 jobs for elementary school teachers the district added will now be paid for with borrowed money.
So $2.5 million promised by the state won’t be coming in, so they will receive $20 million instead of $36 million? And they will have to borrow money for 300 jobs? What kind of idiotic reporting is this? And $16 million affects only 300 jobs?
The article is so poorly written that I cannot make sense out of it. Possibly because I went to a small school where we were taught in the English language rather than some obscure variation of it.
the californicate voted for brown and obama,
so what do they expect?
businesses are leaving this state 5-6 per week.
Just tax the companies a little bit more in California. It should be fine with them.
It's a bit less confusing.
