SDUSD - School Budget Crises / Special Forum 

Please come to a SPECIAL Budget Presentation for Point Loma Cluster Schools on Monday, November 2 at 6:30pm in the Dana Middle School Auditorium (during our regular PLCSF General Mtg).  Interim Superintendent Bill Kowba and Chief District Relations Officer Bernie Rhinerson will present.  Hear where we are and speak to the needs of our community!


Over the last three years, California has seen historic reductions in school funding. For the San Diego Unified School District, this means a reduction of nearly 20 percent in school funding over three years, while the enrollment has increased by nearly 2 percent.  That's a reduction of $180 million, plus another $16 million that might have to be cut before the end of the 2009-10 school year.  Last year's budget anticipated a reduction in $84 million for 2010-11.  California's budget analysts are now estimating more cuts that could be in the $17-110 million range.


Weigh in on the discussions: What programs and services are important to us here in Point Loma? What can we do to shape the future of public education for our children? Come find out.
