Tackling the Budget Deficit

Poway Unified School District is facing a budget deficit due to reduced state funding, declining enrollment, and increased cost of materials and supplies. Our priority is to maintain world-class education for students while addressing these financial challenges in a responsible way. We recognize that financial challenges and budget conversations can cause concern throughout our communities as we discuss the impact it may have on the future.

    • Responsibility - We are making decisions that prioritize stability and sustainability.

    • World-Class Education - We remain committed to delivering an educational experience that continues to empower all students.

HOW WE ARE ADDRESSING THE BUDGET:
    • Maximizing Resources - We are openly communicating the financial realities and decision-making process. The district is exploring multiple solutions and is looking closely at every opportunity to maximize resources.
