Updated Budget Page Now Online

San Diego Unified's budget news page has been updated and expanded. It is now available online at www.sandi.net/budget.

"The public can find out about our current and past years' budgets, as well as the latest news on projections for the 2011-12 school year," said Bernie Rhinerson, chief district relations officer. "It's important that we provide open access to information so our parents and voters can stay in touch on this issue."

So far, San Diego Unified is projecting more than $100 million in funding reductions from the State of California for the 2011-12 school year. A budget timeline explains the process up to the required submission to the county Office of Education on July 1.

There is also information on the budget development project, documents and news coverage. Comments on the budget are also welcome.
