Santa Ana Unified names new superintendent |
The Santa Ana Unified School District Board of Education has appointed Jerry Almendarez as the 47,000-student district’s new superintendent. During the three-month selection and interview process, the board took into consideration input gathered from parents, staff, students and community members via an online survey, community listening sessions and one-on-one discussions. Almendarez has served as superintendent since 2010 at the Colton Joint Unified School District, an economically and ethnically diverse district of 23,000 students.

‘Moderate’ funding increase predicted for California schools, community colleges in 2020-21 |
K-12 schools and community colleges can anticipate a “moderate” 4.2 percent increase in funding in the 2020-21 state budget, instead of a long-anticipated recession, the Legislative Analyst’s Office predicted Wednesday in its annual fiscal forecast.
But school and college districts won’t be feeling flush, the LAO said; mandated retirement contributions and a small cost-of-living increase will eat up most of the additional $3.4 billion they can expect in revenue from Proposition 98.

California agency predicts $7 billion state budget surplus |
California is expected to have a $7 billion budget surplus next year, but lawmakers were urged Wednesday not to spend all of it because a sizable chunk depends on an upcoming decision by the Trump administration as it feuds with state Democratic leaders. A report from the bipartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office says California’s savings account could grow to more than $18 billion by the end of 2021.
That’s enough to make it through a typical recession, although the state would likely have to slash public education spending in the event of a downturn, the report said.
