Want to know how the governor’s budget proposal impacts IUSD? Or why school districts can’t use facilities dollars to cover operational expenses? Or why major budget decisions must be made by March? The Irvine Unified School District has a new interactive webpage that answers these and other frequently asked questions about the state budget crisis and its impact on Irvine’s schools. You can access it by clicking here. As always, we’ll continue to post the latest budget news and information on our Budget Watch page at www.iusd.org/budget_watch. And that’s where you’ll find the link to our new page featuring specific fiscal questions – and answers. Questions are grouped by topic, and many include links to detailed graphics and charts. New entries will be added each week to help clarify our complex and evolving budget picture.
