Have you heard about the District Fiscal Stabilization Plan?

The Los Angeles County Office of Education asks school districts to submit a 'Fiscal Stabilization Plan." Our districts plan for 2019-2020 will be to cut 2.5 million from our General Fund.

At our next board meeting on February 26th, there will be a presentation and school board members will vote to approve the "Resolution of Fiscal Stabilization for 2019-2020." (See the link below)

Here is a list of the 2019-2020 budget reduction items:

1. Reduction of Contracted Services – brokering, consulting, and leadership development ($400,000);
2. Reduction of Central Clerical Support – 3 classified employees ($180,000);
3. Reduction of Special Project Administration and Centralized Support Services ($250,000);
4. Refunding Non-Core Programs in Schools - 4th and 5th grade release time and wellness program ($350,000);
5. Refunding Non-Essential Services in Student Support Programs – behavioral aides ($450,000);
6. Reduction of Site and Program Allocation ($300,000);
7. Reduction of Instructional Staff due to declining enrollment – 6 certificated employees ( $480,000);
8. Realignment of Baseline Program/Services - increase of staffing ratio ($150,000);

While you read over this presentation and plan, the real question should be, "Why is our District facing a 2.5 million deficit? Is it due to a rise in health care costs, increase to teacher pensions, are we facing declining enrollment or are there other factors that have also contributed to this financial state? These are just some thoughts to ponder!

Interested in hearing more? Attend Tuesday Night's board meeting at 7:00 p.m!

Thank you and see you all at the SGTA meeting on March 12th!
