My Word: School district needs community's help on master plan - San Jose Mercury News:
"Like school districts across California, the Alameda Unified School District is facing a perfect storm of fiscal crises. The nationwide recession that has reduced state revenue has in turn significantly reduced state funding to the Alameda district.
In 2010-2011, we will face a $3 million deficit, and in 2011-2012, a $7 million deficit.
By 2012-2013, when funding from Measures A and H parcel taxes expires, Alameda Unified School District schools will face a devastating $16 million deficit."
