Like many public school districts throughout California, the Oceanside Unified School District is facing a major budget deficit. In order to present a balanced budget by June 30, 2010, as required by state law, OUSD must find ways to reduce a $19 million shortfall.
This budget gap, brought about by the state’s fiscal crisis, is impacting all students, staff and parents of our district. Jobs, programs for our children, the potential for larger class sizes, as well as reductions in services, such as transportation, are all at stake.
During Tuesday night’s board of education meeting, Superintendent Larry Perondi presented a preliminary list of budget reduction recommendations to help close the district’s $19 million budget shortfall. The proposed cutbacks were made based on two assumptions – reducing our school year to 175 days, and a reduction of salary and benefits from all of our employee associations.
The following link -- Budget Reduction Recommendations 02-23-10 -- will connect you to the proposals submitted to our board members for further consideration. The presentation outlines what the reductions in staff and services may look like depending on the level of participation of all three of our employee groups.
The Oceanside Unified School District Board of Education maintains its commitment to provide educational choices to families to meet the diverse needs of all students. The first SOC window begins March 1 and runs through March 19 with a 3 p.m. deadline on the day of closing.
