Welcome to District Dollars

For a third straight year, the Davis Joint Unified School District (DJUSD) faces budget cuts because of less funding from the California state government. In January Davis school superintendent James Hammond presented the Board of Education with a proposal to close a $5.6 million budget gap for the 2010-11 school year.
District Dollars is a web-based, interactive program to help you understand the DJUSD budget situation.

You will learn about:

  • How we pay for California schools
  • How much money the district gets and how it is spent
  • What are the different options for balancing the budget
  • The superintendent’s plan to close the budget gap
  • The timeline for budget decisions

We want to hear from you!

District Dollars lets you ask questions, provide feedback and share your own values about education priorities. Collective results will be reviewed during district budget discussions.
Note: The budget and specific numbers are subject to change.
