District Dollars Updated

The Davis  Board of Education will adopt a final budget by July 1.  Originally facing budget reductions in the amount of $5.6 million and the loss of more than 88 full-time positions, the district’s budget situation has improved significantly with recent developments:

  • The district reached agreement with employees for $1,178,00 in salary reductions in exchange for five fewer work days. This will restore almost 26 full-time positions for the 2010-11 school year.
  • DJUSD received donations from the community in the form of a $1.4 million grant from the Davis Schools Foundation. This will restore an additional 22 full-time positions for the 2010-11 school year.

To better understand the impact of the developments on the budget reduction plan view updates at www.DistrictDollars.org.

On Thursday, the Board will receive a report on the collective results of the  “What Do You Value?” interactive exercise.  You may participate and share your education priorities through midnight Tuesday.

The following are your opportunities to participate in the public process this week.   Follow links to full agendas and meeting locations.  As always, if we’ve missed a meeting, please add it in a comment.
