20/21 Planning
Educational Program: We are working on our school programs for 20/21. There is much uncertainty with what school will look like and what the Public Health orders will allow. We also know that more families may want independent study and remote learning than have in past years. For this reason, we have developed a survey that will be sent to you on Wednesday that asks your opinion about different educational programs so we are able to plan for 20/21 based on the choices and options that are best for our families. Your opinion in no way commits you to a particular program, it just will give us a better idea about how to staff for next year.
Budget: The Governor’s May Revise brought devastating news to the education community. We are planning for a reduction of over $6 million to our 20/21 budget based on the May Revise. Thanks to prudent financial planning by our UUSD Board of Trustees and Administration, we will be able to use a portion of our reserve to help us get through 20/21 without major program and staffing reductions. Please click here to see the UUSD Budget materials presented at yesterday’s special Board meeting.
As we plan for the next school year, we will communicate with you about any new developments or decisions that are made. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
