San Diego Unified's Budget Woes Widen to Include Potential Layoffs |
|
San Diego Unified will again consider laying off an unknown number of employees to help close a $70 million budget hole expected next year following across-the-board raises, according to new projections presented to school board trustees Tuesday night. The gap increased from a $58 million shortfall estimated in September. The district’s chief business officer, Greg Ottinger, gave no explanation for the change before asking trustees to greenlight unspecified reductions and positively certify the district’s $1.44 billion budget.

LA County Is Putting Mini Health Clinics On High School Campuses |
|
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has opened dozens of "Wellbeing Centers" on high school campuses, providing everything from checkups to mental health services to pregnancy tests.
The county has opened 34 centers — mostly at Los Angeles Unified School District schools — since the beginning of the month, and it plans to have 50 by early next year.
The centers function like mini-clinics, with exam tables and medical supplies. They're open three-and-a-half days a week.

Sacramento City School District Gave Teachers Raises It Couldn’t Afford, State Auditor Finds |
|
The California State Auditor says the Sacramento City Unified School District has done such a poor job with its finances and labor negotiations that the state Legislature should pass a law to keep the same thing from happening at other school districts.
A report released by the California State Auditor’s office on Tuesday also says if the school district and the Sacramento City Teachers' Association can't work together to address a $31 million shortfall during a new bargaining session, the district will run out of money in two years.
