Show Notes
Fresno Unified School District faces significant budget cuts, with at least 200 full-time staff positions at risk. However, Chief Financial Officer Patrick Jensen expects minimal job losses due to reassignments and seniority bumping. The districts current year deficit has grown to nearly $89 million, with next years projected at $55 million. Teachers union president Manuel Bonilla proposes using $81 million in discretionary funds to protect jobs, but Jensen argues the funds are already allocated. Hearings for eligible staff begin in April, with final layoff notices by May 14th. The districts reserves are dwindling, risking state takeover if they fall below 2% in two years.
