The Elk Grove Unified School District will hold four public meetings throughout March to discuss the state of California's budget crisis and its effect on public education.
EGUSD faces a $40 million budget shortfall if Governor Jerry Brown's proposed tax extension measure fails to appear on a special election ballot and pass in June. The district has identified a combination of cuts that impacts all district divisions and schools, as well as one-time dollars. The proposed reductions total almost $35 million, potentially affecting nearly 440 full-time equivalent positions.
The public meetings will be held from 7 to 8 p.m. on the following dates at these locations:
March 10, 2011
Sheldon High School
Performing Arts Center
March 22, 2011
Valley High School

It's sad to see the district put our teachers and kids last. I wonder why the district is cutting closes to the classroom first. Why are very few "administrative" jobs being cut? Where is all the money we saved during the economic boom?
Why has the Elk Grove Education Association not dropped it's union dues?
Why do we have 6 Associate Superintendents? Why do we have 10 Directors? Why does the Superintendent make $243,000 and have 2 executive assistants and an administrative assistant?
Do we really need a Director of communications plus her staff? Can't a board member or one of the 6 Associate Superintendents talk to the media when needed?
I realize times are tough and cuts are needed, I just wish our teacher and kids were a little lower on the chopping block.
