The OUSD board is set to discuss a plan to reduce staff as part of efforts to balance their budget, addressing a $95 million deficit for the 2025-2026 year. The plan includes laying off 117 credentialed positions, while creating a smaller number of classified roles. This move follows last December's budget package approval. The district's schools could face dramatic funding cuts, dropping from over $18 million to less than $3 million, affecting resources available for vulnerable student groups.
The amendments proposed aim to strike a balance between necessary layoffs and retaining essential roles to maintain educational quality, especially those pivotal for at-risk students.
As we progress towards finalizing our budget for the upcoming school year, it's critical we address these vacancies while ensuring that our most impactful positions remain filled.
