Budget Update from Superintendent Perondi

Like many public school districts throughout California, the Oceanside Unified School District is facing a major budget deficit. In order to present a balanced budget by June 30, 2010, as required by state law, OUSD must find ways to reduce a $19 million shortfall.

During the regularly scheduled board meeting, Tuesday, March 9, the OUSD Board of Education voted 4-1 to administer preliminary layoff notices to roughly 200 certificated employees – 82 temporary teachers on one-year contracts, and 117 permanent instructors.  Though these notices may not become final until May 15, state deadlines mandate the district to provide notification by March 15.  
 
Below you will find a link to the PowerPoint of the interim financial report shared at last night’s meeting. As the slides in the presentation clearly indicate, our state funding is $30 million less than what we are currently entitled, while per pupil funding has dropped roughly $1,200 per student since the 2007-08 school year. 
 
I will continue to update the status of our budget crisis as information becomes available. To view the district’s latest interim financial report, click Qualified Budget. For a complete listing of all OUSD budget information, click Budget.
