SAC CITY USD WHERE BILLIONAIRES BOYS CLUB HAS RULED AND STUDENTS HAVE PAID FOR THE MISTAKES
Sacramento City Unified School District is in a bit of a pickle. After 25 years of leadership paid for by billionaire privatizers, the district is now facing the consequences of their actions. Will the students pay the price for their mistakes, or will the state finally see the light and put an end to the privatizing policies that are destroying our public schools?
Interim Sup Lisa Allen may be the saving grace for the district. As someone who has lived through the leadership freak show that has plagued the district and penalized our students, she may be able to show the district the value of having someone who understands the struggles of the students and teachers.
But let's not forget about the $46.2 million fine that the district could still face for the teachers and staff strike that cut eight days of instruction from the 2021-2022 school year. The State Controller's Office is still reviewing a report from the district's independent auditor, and the district could avoid the penalty by filing a waiver of the instructional time financial penalty with the State Board of Education. Or, they could request a summary review or file a formal appeal through the Education Audit Appeals Panel. If neither option is pursued, the district would face the fine, though they could request to repay the penalty over multiple years.
It's like a game of chess, but instead of kings and queens, we have bureaucrats and lawyers. And let's not forget about the negotiations between the district and teachers for a reopener on salary and other issues to cover the just completed 2022-2023 school year. With 191 vacancies, including 97 classroom positions, according to a district dashboard, it's clear that there are some serious issues that need to be addressed.
In all seriousness, we need to address these issues and find solutions that benefit everyone involved. Our students deserve a quality education, and our teachers deserve fair compensation and support. Let's work together to make Sac City Unified School District a place where everyone can thrive.
