San Francisco Unified School District Supt. Maria Su will present a plan Tuesday night to cut nearly $114 million from the district’s budget, as SFUSD grapples with financial challenges and declining enrollment.Su, who took on the role just four months ago, has pledged not to close any district schools for the 2025-26 school year. However, balancing the budget will require significant cuts."The cuts are going to come from all areas of the district," Su said.
The district plans to do this through early retirement buyouts and layoffs. Su said she does not know exactly how many SFUSD employees may take the buyout option but that their retirement department has been "very busy" with employees who've made appointments to discuss option. "Eighty percent of our budget goes toward staff," Su said. "It means we have no choice but to reduce our workforce."The cuts are aimed at preventing a state takeover of the district.
