NEWS RELEASE: Board Considers Budget With Added Funds for School Safety

News Release from the San Diego Unified School District, June 26, 2018

 

Board Considers Budget With Added Funds for School Safety

District Spending to decline 1 Percent, County Upgrades District Financial Standing to “Positive”

 

The San Diego Unified School District final 2018-19 budget will go before the Board of Education tonight with added funds for school safety, information technology services, and programs for homeless students.

 

The proposed final budget was developed with recent input from the public, said Board President Kevin Beiser. The budget includes funds for a senior position in the School Police Department, and it adds five positions to the district’s IT staff, in part, to help improve response time to technology service calls.

 

The San Diego Unified budget also includes an additional $250,000 for education programs for homeless students. The funds were secured with assistance from Senate President Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, in response to the loss of the McKinney-Vento Education for Homeless Children and Youth Program grant due to a clerical error.    

 

Overall, district spending is set to decline by 1 percent next year as a result of efficiencies established in the Central Office. Earlier this year, the County Office of Education upgraded the district’s financial status from “qualified” to “positive.” This marks the first time in eight years the district has received a positive rating from the County Office of Education.

 

“The fact that our budget has now been certified as positive by the County for the first time in eight years should give all students and their families confidence we are on the right track,” said President Beiser. “The programs our families value most -- arts and music, for example -- will remain strong and funded for the future.”

 

San Diego Unified is the largest school district in the county and second-largest in California, with more than 100,000 students and approximately 180 schools. The district’s annual operating budget is more than $1 billion.

 

“Thanks to the dramatic action we took together last year to significantly reduce our budget, our schools are on a firm financial footing for the future, and that has real benefits for our students -- and for the taxpayers of San Diego,” said President Beiser. “Our sound fiscal strategy resulted in the Wall Street ratings firms giving our district strong marks, meaning we were able to save more than $100 million the last time we issued bonds.”

 

President Beiser also thanked the community for its support and guidance. For the first time,  the school district surveyed families earlier this year to determine what they value most in education. The survey resulted in more than 11,000 responses.

 

Each year the district must pass a balanced budget by June 30. Some 80 percent of funding for San Diego Unified comes from the State of California. California continues to rank 46th in the nation in education spending.

 

The Board of Education will consider the budget at its regular meeting at 5 p.m. at San Diego Unified headquarters, 4100 Normal St.

MEDIA ADVISORY: San Diego Unified School District Superintendent Cindy Marten Continues Tradition of 12th Annual Student Camping Trip

[cid:image006.png@01D40961.CD6D5840]

MEDIA ADVISORY
June 21, 2018

San Diego Unified School District Superintendent Cindy Marten Continues Tradition of 12th Annual Student Camping Trip

80 Central Elementary third-graders head to Stelzer County Park to experience camping trip for the first time with support from the Jarrett Meeker Foundation

WHAT: Central Elementary third-graders head to Stelzer County Park for outdoors experience with support from the Jarrett Meeker Foundation.


WHEN: June 27, 2018 – June 29, 2018

Media Coverage is available from 7:30 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. throughout the camping trip

Superintendent Cindy Marten will be available for interview at the campsite Wednesday, June 27 from 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.



WHERE: Stelzer County Park, 11470 Wildcat Canyon Rd, Lakeside, CA 92040



DETAILS: Third-graders from Central Elementary School in City Heights will once again be experiencing typical camping rituals (sleeping in tents, eating s'mores, sharing stories and singing songs around the campfire) when they head out on the school's annual camping trip to Louis A. Stelzer County Park on June 27, 28, and 29. This is the 12th annual trip supported by The Jarrett Meeker Foundation, and is often the first time the inner-city students have been camping.



In addition to experiencing the fun of camping, students will be exposed to a standards-based learning experience that includes Kumeyaay Indian history, storytelling, artifacts and games; birds of prey presentation and owl pellet dissections; and native plant and composting education. San Diego Unified Superintendent and former Central Elementary principal, Cindy Marten, will continue her tradition of joining the students on the trip the evening of June 27.



"The children from Central Elementary live in the middle of the city with very little opportunity to experience the outdoors," Marten said. "The camping trip helps connect students to the wonders of wildlife, fosters the desire to be good stewards of the environment and gets them outside, unplugged."



The Superintendent will join the students as they toast marshmallows, tell stories, sing camp songs, gaze at the stars and settle into tents when it's time for lights out. The campers will awaken to the smell of pancakes on the griddle, courtesy of the Lake Murray Kiwanis Club.



The Jarrett Meeker Foundation is a local non-profit organization that provides programs related to wildlife, conservation and the environment for children and young adults in San Diego County. The foundation was established in 1987 in memory of 8-year-old Jarrett Meeker after his accidental death. Jarrett's family was inspired by his love of nature. The foundation and the work that it does is Jarrett's gift—his legacy – and keeps his memory alive. Since 1987, JMF has provided once-in-a-lifetime educational experiences to more than 100,000 children representing over 50 schools throughout San Diego County.
