$73 million in debt with little or no cash flow to make payments
Over $143 million of classroom funds will be used to repay this debt.
$73 million in debt was suppressed from the public during the $298 million Measure M bond campaign for fear that the bond would not pass.
$3.5 budget shortfall of the 2006-2007 school year
Financial reserves spent down to .25% (3% is standard)
Deficit spending for last 3 years
Teacher and staff lay-offs
District is under financial scrutiny from the County Office of Education
Formal complaint from the Public Employees Relation Board (PERB) for numerous unfair labor practices. These complaints may result in formal sanctions and penalties against the SMUHSD.
No contracts with either the CTA or CSEA employees.
95% of the members of the Teachers Association have affirmed a vote of No Confidence against Superintendent Sam Johnson and Asst Superintendent Ethel Konopka.
Library, support staff, and Special Education resources have been pillaged to pay for budget shortfalls.
How much is too much?
Is this a school district that is being run on the values of open communication, honesty, and ethics?
