To Staff and the Twin Rivers School Community,
Good news, everyone!
We learned Monday that our state budget will not include cuts to our 2020-21 school year funding. I’m delighted and relieved. This is great news for our immediate needs.
Twin Rivers was preparing for the possibility of a 10% decrease to our funding, a loss of nearly $28 million. However, it seems that the Legislature and Governor Newsom were able to reach an agreement that does not require any cuts be made to the next school year. State Education Budget (AB 77) is about 342 pages in length, and since it will be approved June 26, we are still studying the details. But at this early stage, we can see that cuts to personnel or layoffs will not be required to balance our budget in the 2020-21 school year.
The Legislature will hear the budget bill this Friday, and then send it to the Governor for signature, which is due by or before next Tuesday, June 30.
Best regards,
