Budget Update from Superintendent Perondi

Budget image-3-10-10.jpg

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.  
 
Sincerely,
 
Larry Perondi

OCEANSIDE: OUSD trustees vote to notice 200 teachers

By STACY BRANDT - sbrandt@nctimes.com | Posted: March 9, 2010 11:18 pm | No Comments Posted

School trustees in Oceanside reluctantly and tearfully voted Tuesday to send preliminary layoff notices to 200 teachers as part of their plan to balance next year's budget.

Before the vote, some teachers told the board they were upset with the recommended budget cuts and asked the trustees to consider other options, such as reducing the number of district administrators, rather than laying off educators, lowering pay and increasing class sizes.

"We ask the board members to make sure the cuts you authorize are as far away from the students as possible," said Terry Hart, president of the Oceanside Teachers Association. "A great teacher is the most important resource that this district provides to the students of Oceanside."

(Important note: We are wrestling with how to cut $19 million from our annual budget in order to stay in business and provide our educational services during the 2010-2011 school year. For the following school year 2011-2012, it is projected that we will need to cut ANOTHER $24 million in order to continue).

Events are being held at most of California's public colleges and universities to protest budget cuts that have led to canceled classes, faculty furloughs and steep fee hikes. (AP Photo/Ben Margot)

Read about the recommended budget cuts

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.

This budget gap, brought about by the state’s fiscal crisis, is impacting all students, staff and parents of our district.   Jobs, programs for our children, the potential for larger class sizes, as well as reductions in services, such as transportation, are all at stake.
 
During Tuesday night’s board of education meeting, Superintendent Larry Perondi presented a preliminary list of budget reduction recommendations to help close the district’s $19 million budget shortfall. The proposed cutbacks were made based on two assumptions – reducing our school year to 175 days, and a reduction of salary and benefits from all of our employee associations. 
 
The following link -- Budget Reduction Recommendations 02-23-10 -- will connect you to the proposals submitted to our board members for further consideration. The presentation outlines what the reductions in staff and services may look like depending on the level of participation of all three of our employee groups.
