Peary’s FY27 budget shows lower funding and fewer funded positions

What happened

LAUSD’s FY27 Peary budget lists $15.68 million and 90.39 full-time-equivalent positions, down from $17.10 million and 115.74 positions in the FY25-26 allocation.

Why it matters to families

The planning documents show substantially less funding and about 25 fewer funded positions, which can affect the staff available to serve students. They do not identify individual jobs or establish layoffs.

The evidence

The FY25-26 allocation totals $17,101,541 and 115.74 FTE. The FY27 budget lists $15,677,445, with staffing tables totaling 86.86 FTE plus 3.53 FTE. The documents use different budget-year formats, so the comparison is a planning signal.
