The San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) is grappling with a significant $113 million budget deficit for the next fiscal year, prompting discussions about necessary budget cuts. While closing schools is not currently on the table, layoffs are likely as 80% of the budget is allocated to staffing. SFUSD officials, including new superintendent Maria Su, are preparing for a transparent process in compliance with state laws regarding potential layoffs. The teacher's union advocates for transparency regarding the situation's impact on crucial staff such as social workers and counselors.
"We are in the process right now of closing $113 million deficit for next year. We are looking at all our spending throughout the district to make sure that we can submit a balanced budget by June."
"We will likely have to issue layoffs down the road and there is a process that we go through to make sure that we follow state law for that."
