Palo Alto Unified School District is confronting a $33 million budget deficit for the upcoming school year. This significant financial challenge is expected to result in substantial layoffs and difficult decisions for the school board. The deficit is too large to be addressed by minor cost-saving measures alone. The district will first attempt to minimize job losses by not filling vacant positions and reassigning current staff. However, eliminating programs, services, and jobs is likely unavoidable.
