Settelmayer announced budget cuts and school closure, leading to a vote of no confidence from unionized teachers at Downtown College Prep, affecting predominantly low-income students of color.
DCP Alum Rock High School is facing closure due to declining enrollment and a large budget deficit, with Settelmayer citing a $1.5 million to $1.7 million deficit and insufficient state attendance revenue from 205 enrolled students.
Educators from South Bay Educators United expressed concerns over Settelmayer's lack of transparency and respect for students and families affected by the closure, leading to the vote of no confidence at a board of directors meeting.
Settelmayer acknowledged the organization's grieving process due to the loss of DCP Alum Rock High School and layoffs, emphasizing the importance of focusing on and respecting the needs of the students during this challenging time.
