Town Hall InvitationSuperintendent Cary Matsuoka and the Board of Trustees of LGSUHSD invite you to attend a Town Hall meeting regarding the current budget situation. We are providing two opportunities for the community to come together to learn more and provide input about this critical issue.
Please watch this site for more information about the Town Hall meetings and ongoing district budget updates. Budget UpdateAs you are well aware, California’s schools are facing the most severe budget crisis in years. Our district, like all others around the state, has been hit hard. In fall 2009, this crisis resulted in a loss of $1.2M for our district for the current school year. In addition, local property tax collections are down significantly and our projected income for the current and future years are approaching no growth. While these losses are partially offset by federal stimulus funds of approximately $400,000, our overall income is declining. We will finish the 2009-10 school year with a positive cash balance, but the 2010-11 year and beyond will be challenging. At this point, we are faced with a $3.06M budget shortfall in the 2010-11 school year. At the December 8, 2009 board meeting, we identified savings of approximately $1.2M which will be incorporated into the 2010-11 budget. These savings include an increase in class sizes in 9th grade English and Algebra and cuts to Adult Education, technology, summer school 2010 and deferred maintenance. We are working cooperatively with our employee groups and management to address the remaining $1.86M budget gap. As we solve these budget problems, our highest priority is to protect our core instructional program. Our current students experience high school only once in their lifetime and we need to invest in their preparation and experience regardless of the circumstances. In addition to our scheduled board meetings, we will be holding town hall meetings to discuss the budget problem. Please feel free to contact me at cmatsuoka@lgsuhsd.org with any questions, ideas, or concerns about our financial situation.
Board Budget DiscussionsIn an effort to keep you, our community, apprised of issues relating to the current budget situation, we will be posting relevant documents from recent board meetings.
