CUSD will seek $150 parcel tax
The Cabrillo Unified School District will seek a five-year $150 per-parcel tax, reports the Review. The tax will require approval from 2/3 of the voters in the June primary election.
The tax would raise $1.5 million this year toward the district’s projected $2.5 million budget shortfall.
The district also distributed a list of potential cuts, in order of decreasing desirability.
The school district will be starting negotiations later this month with its employee unions for possible cost savings including furlough days, salary reductions and shortening the school calendar by five days.
Follow the jump to see the list of possible cuts.
Note: While we have added a "cumulative" savings column as a guide to the total impact, these cuts are not necessarily additive. Earlier, smaller cuts, may be included in some later, larger cuts.
