Board President Gives 'State of the District'
Shelia Jackson Delivers Address Thursday, March 26
SAN DIEGO - The challenges that faced the San Diego Unified School
District in the past year and issues facing its future will be topic of
the upcoming State of the District Address being delivered by Shelia
Jackson, Board of Education President.
The public is invited to the address, which will be held at 6 p.m.
Thursday, March 26, at Lincoln High School, 4777 Imperial Avenue
(92113). Jackson's speech is an official Board of Education meeting,
which will be held in the school's 750-seat auditorium, part of the
school's Center for the Arts.
Jackson is expected to discuss the academic, legislative and financial
challenges facing the district over the next year, as well as reviewing
the previous 12 months. The Board of Education recently reduced the
current school year budget by $43 million, with another $100 million in
cuts targeted for 2009-10.
Over the last year, San Diego Unified celebrated being one of the
largest districts in the U.S. to have passed all federal academic
testing guidelines under the No Child Left Behind act. In addition, San
Diego Unified's citizens approved Proposition S, a billion-dollar bond
that will help to revitalize and renovate schools for the next decade.
