Board expands ongoing cuts to $6.5 million and freezes hiring

What happened

The board adopted $6.5 million in ongoing reductions beginning in 2027-28, immediately paused hiring for vacant nonessential jobs, and ordered cost-benefit reviews of specialized programs.

Why it matters to families

This escalates the earlier stabilization plan and puts specialized programs and unfilled positions under immediate financial review.

The evidence

Resolution 30 cites ongoing deficit spending without new Measure G parcel-tax revenue and lists the expanded cut target, hiring pause, and program review.
