District administration is creating a budget crisis to push through cuts
that are bad for kids.

They are planning to layoff 1 in every 8 educators, get rid of enrichment
classes, and slash supports

for our neediest students, Creating an environment of panic and instability
is an opportunity to

push through the cuts and reorganizations top administrators want, but that
parents, educators

and our school communities oppose.

These cuts are based on worst-case predictions, and they've been wrong
every time.

District administration doesn't really know what its budget will be until
June. Right now they are

just guessing, and they have a long history of guessing wrong. Last year
their budget was off by

48%, and in 2014-15 it was off by 94%! That's $79 million! That's why we
are fighting back against

teacher layoffs and slash-and-burn cuts.

Educators have a better plan for our schools.

Educators aren't getting distracted by this inflated crisis-and we don't
want parents to be, either.

To move us forward, we're launching a campaign to fight for a union
contract that gives our kids

and our schools the resources they really need.

Help stop cuts to San Diego schools!

The San Diego Unified School District is proposing more harmful cuts in
addition to the nearly

600 classified job cuts the Board of Education approved at the end of
February.

The district is now proposing to cut another 102 positions in Operations
Support Services and 88

in Office Technical and Business Services. The district also plans to
impose a permanent reduction

in the work year by 10-14 days for all classified employees.

The district is planning on malting these cuts without any input from
classified employees or

parents. These cuts go against the district's mission to provide students
the skills,

motivation and resilience to succeed.

Please join us in telling the district that making irresponsible cuts

is harmful to students and employees.
