Budget Cuts
The information presented below is an opinion and hopefully informative recap
of what transpired at the Dixon Unified School District (DUSD)
School Board Meetings in the DHS Theater on Feb 5, 2009 and Feb 19, 2009.
$ 3 Million . . . $ 5 Million . . . $ 7 Million
What these numbers mean to me...
|
The amount that MUST BE CUT from the 2009-2010 school budget. |
|
|
PROPOSED CUTS that the School Board approved. |
|
|
Possible savings presented by the Superintendent to the School Board. |
Timelines forced a required vote, and that is why there is a disparity in numbers.
$5 Million in PROPOSED CUTS
approved by the School Board
shows that DUSD is willing to make huge sacrifices
in order to not transition to "RECEIVERSHIP"
whereby an outside agency takes over the school budget
and the community no longer has inputs.
2009 Timelines
|
DUSD submits a proposed budget to the county. Notification of possible "pink slips". |
|
|
Financial numbers released by the State which might require a "May Revise" to the State budget. |
|
|
Adjustments to DUSD budget based on State revisions. Delivery of "pink slips" to those affected. |
|
|
Final DUSD budget approved for 2009-2010 school year. |
Survey will be used to Prioritize Cuts
This is our opportunity to
Save the Sports programs at DHS and CAJ.
DUSD will be releasing a survey in late February
to reduce the disparity in numbers
and come up with a final budget.
We need the help of all Students, Athletes, Parents, and Fans...
