SAN DIEGO — Poway Unified, like many school districts across California, is facing a significant budget shortfall of $28 million. However, the district tells ABC 10News it does not plan layoffs for next school year.
Little says there are a number of factors leading to budget deficits at so many districts. It starts with how schools are funded in California. State funding is based on enrollment and attendance. Both those numbers are dropping. Attendance is falling, too. At PUSD, the absentee rate has risen from 3% to 4.5% since the pandemic. “Even that 1.5% difference is worth a few million dollars in funding each year," Little said.
