OCDE previews spending plan for 2020-21 |
|
Despite plummeting state revenue and increased costs related to COVID-19, the Orange County Department of Education is projecting an actual deficit of less than $1 million against a budget of about $250 million, Associate Superintendent Renee Hendrick said Wednesday. Addressing the Orange County Board of Education at its regular meeting, Hendrick outlined OCDE’s proposed spending plan for the fiscal year that starts July 1. Its development comes as California works to close a $54 billion shortfall caused by a collapsed tax base and a surge in costs associated with the coronavirus pandemic.

|
When Baleigh Batiste picks up a book, she likes to plop down on her chair in her room to read it, or in a hammock in the backyard.

He’s into science fiction.

Some of Orange County’s most well-known high school athletes have made their voices heard on social media since Floyd died at the hands of police in Minneapolis on May 25. Rosary point guard Asia Avinger, the Register’s player of the year in girls basketball for 2019-20, has been among the most vocal on her Instagram account.

|
