District officials said Monday they have identified roughly $100 million in budget solutions to help address the impending deficit.
The San Diego Unified Board of Education and interim Superintendent Fabiola Bagula, center, are working on how to close a $176 million deficit for next school year. San Diego Unified officials said Monday they have identified roughly $100 million in budget solutions to address the district’s impending $176 million deficit — but it hasn’t yet published details of what exactly will be cut., according to their first board budget workshop for the year, held Monday afternoon.
Some community members have also pointed to a large cost increase they say is fueling the deficit: In 2023, the district gave employees 15% raises that at the time were estimated to cost an extra $208 million a year. Even as the district plans to cut staff to make ends meet, Bagula noted that it’s struggling to fill vacancies in needed positions, such bus drivers and food service workers, because it doesn’t pay as much as outside companies.
