San Francisco Unified School District faces a $114 million budget deficit, prompting Superintendent Maria Su to announce a staffing reduction plan as part of a 'Fiscal Stabilization Plan.' The budget primarily allocates 85% for staffing, and significant cuts will affect roles in the central office and among paraeducators and counselors. However, to protect teachers, the plan offers early retirement packages. An additional component includes implementing a new payroll system aimed at improving financial management, as the district seeks to end a cycle of deficit spending.
Superintendent Maria Su emphasized that to tackle our budget deficit, the district needs to make significant staffing cuts but will not involve teacher layoffs.
With 85% of its budget going towards staffing, the district plans to save $34 million through central office staff cuts, impacting over 200 jobs.
