San Lorenzo USD budget plan projects deficits through 2028-29

What happened

San Lorenzo USD’s 2026-27 budget plan projects an $18.1 million General Fund deficit, followed by projected deficits of $9.8 million and $14.4 million in the next two years. The multiyear forecast assumes $2 million in position reductions in both 2026-27 and 2027-28, but does not identify the affected roles.

Why it matters to families

The projected shortfalls could require further reductions or other budget changes that affect district services and staffing; families should know that the forecast depends in part on planned position reductions.

The evidence

The district’s 2026-27 budget report and multiyear projection lists net General Fund decreases of $18,126,058 in 2026-27, $9,824,822 in 2027-28, and $14,408,494 in 2028-29. Its projection assumptions cite $2 million in position reductions in each of the first two years. The report labels the budget for adoption on June 16, 2026; these are projections, not reported final results.
