The district intends to cut central office staffing and draw from its reserves. But that could pose other problems.
San Diego Unified officials shed more light Friday on how they plan to bridge what they now expect is a $93.7 million budget gap for next school year — a plan that includes cutting dozens of central office staff positions and spending down district reserves. The school district, which has more than 12,000 staff, has not yet said how many people it might lay off.
It's spending down so much that those reserves are expected to dwindle from $163 million last school year to about $49 million in 2025. In 2025, it may have just enough to meet its 2 percent reserve level required by state law, according to a board presentation Friday. San Diego Unified's reserve level has already been one of the lowest among California's large unified school districts, district officials were told in another budget workshop last month.
