The Cabrillo Unified School District must cut 10 percent of its budget for the coming year as a result of the governor’s proposed budget, reports the County Times.
If the state passes the governor’s budget proposal as-is, the Cabrillo Unified School District stands to lose $2.1 million of its $31 million budget next year. The district already plans to cut $600,000 next year through a variety of measures, including shrinking spending on supplies and conferences and maximizing class sizes, according to Superintendent Rob Gaskill.
The rest of the savings will come from eliminating three full-time English teachers — two at Cunha Middle School, one at Half Moon Bay High. Gaskill hopes at least one of the teachers will be reinstated next year, depending on whether any other teachers resign or retire.
Gaskill said the rest of the cuts would come out of the district’s reserve fund, which would be cut in half under Schwarzenegger’s proposal.
