What is SCUSD doing to mitigate cuts?
SCUSD is working hard to aggressively seek out strategic partnerships, find new funding sources, leverage our resources, streamline our volunteering process and create more volunteer opportunities and access points.
In addition, we are cutting costs and marketing successful programs to increase enrollment. These programs include Hmong, Chinese and Spanish language immersion classes, the Integrated Thematic Instructional program at O.W. Erlewine, high school Linked Learning academies, a Sacramento Pathways partnership with Sacramento State and one of the only Waldorf-methods high schools in the country – George Washington Carver School of Arts and Science. We are working hard to improve teaching and learning in all of our schools to retain our families and build up programs. SCUSD is exploring local revenue options and playing a key role in advocating with state representatives for better K-12 funding. We continue to work together with all employee groups to find workable budget solutions that put the interests of children first.
