MEDIA ADVISORY from the San Diego Unified School District, October 31, 2011

TRUSTEE JOHN LEE EVANS TO DISCUSS MORE BALANCED APPROACHES FOR BUDGET CRISIS SOLUTIONS

WHAT: Media Availability with Dr. John Lee Evans, Sub District A Board of Education Trustee

WHEN: 12 p.m. Monday, Oct. 31, Eugene Brucker Education Center, 4100 Normal St. (92103)

WHAT: Trustee Evans will discuss budget options that do not put the entire burden on teachers and staff. He will urge that a comprehensive budget strategy be developed before any potential budget solutions are taken “off the table”.

QUOTE: “If we have midyear cuts, insolvency is a real threat. We cannot dismiss a first grader’s teacher in the middle of the year. We cannot cancel courses for seniors just before they graduate. The midyear problem can only be resolved at the state level.”

CONTACT: Mr. Evans will be available for questions regarding proposals from other Trustees and will identify 10 areas that he believes need to be examined for a comprehensive budget solution. johnleeevans@sandi.net
