How will the SAUSD cut their next annual budget?

The Santa Ana Unified School District’s is once again facing budget cuts, as the State of California continues to suffer during our economic crisis.  It is unlikely that voters will vote to raise their taxes again, if the State Legislature is able to put another tax increase on the ballot.  The SAUSD will have to make more cuts – again.

Remember that SAUSD Superintendent Jane Russo is on the way out.  It is going to be a tough year as the overmatched SAUSD School Board tries to work out a new budget without their Superintendent.
