"Hundreds of teachers, students and residents descended upon the Dublin School Board meeting last week to demand the immediate firing of the district's superintendent amid districtwide budget cuts. Heather Campos, assistant superintendent of human resources, presented a proposal to potentially cut over 30 full-time positions and 12 substitute teacher jobs by March, due to what the district said is declining enrollment and budget shortfalls."
"The distraught members who filled the room for the Feb. 10 board meeting, which included Dublin Teachers Association union members who recently voted to authorize a potential strike, stacked dozens of boxes in front of the dais with signs depicting the names of teacher positions that could be soon eliminated. They openly expressed a lack of confidence in Superintendent Chris Funk, and loudly asked that he step down. Funk plans to retire this June."
Dublin Unified proposed cutting over 30 full-time positions and 12 substitute jobs by March and sought an additional $5 million in reductions, citing declining enrollment and budget shortfalls. Hundreds of teachers, students and residents attended the Feb. 10 board meeting, stacked boxes naming at-risk positions, and demanded Superintendent Chris Funk step down while union members authorized a potential strike. The board declined to approve the more-than-30 position cuts, with Trustee Dan Cherrier the lone vote in favor, and will revisit options at the Feb. 24 meeting. Earlier reductions included 10 positions and $6.8 million in cuts.
