Surveys may help with Sacramento City schools budget woes | News10.net | Sacramento, California | News:


"SACRAMENTO, CA - Sacramento school officials are asking for help to solve the district's budget crisis and close the achievement gap.

Parents, teachers, students, staff and anyone else who wants to can log on to the Sacramento City Unified School District's Web site and take two surveys on the issues.

Superintendent Jonathan Raymond called the surveys 'an historic effort to involve all people across this community in the critically important decision about the future of our schools.'

SCUSD had estimated its funding shortfall at $18 million but when the governor released his state budget proposal, the district' s red ink grew to $28 to $30 million."
