Declining Enrollment: Brace for Impact

11/23/21 • 66 min

Statewide declining enrollment became worse during the pandemic, and districts have not yet rebounded to their pre-COVID levels. Districts will return to funding based on actual attendance next school year if Gov. Newsom and the Legislature do not act to prevent a fiscal cliff.
In this episode, our guests will provide advice on planning for different funding scenarios and offer suggestions on how the state can solve this problem.
Guests:
Candi Clark, Ed.D., Associate Superintendent of Business Services, Alameda County Office of Education
Jennifer Stahlheber, Chief Financial Officer, San Juan Unified School District
