For the second time in two years, the City of Irvine is discussing a potential pledge of nearly $900,000 in matching funds to help IUSD mitigate the impacts of larger class sizes – a consequence of the state budget crisis.

Welcome back from the week-long spring recess. Just a reminder that the next IUSD Board of Education meeting is at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 13.

In the latest step to resolve a projected budget deficit caused by California's fiscal crisis, IUSD has scheduled eight furlough days for the 2010-11 school year.

Capping months of discussion, the IUSD Board of Education reluctantly voted to make a number of budget reductions and adjustments Tuesday night to resolve the projected deficit for the 2010-11 school year.

The IUSD Board of Education is expected to vote tonight on a number of budget reductions and adjustments to bridge a projected deficit of more than $20 million for the 2010-11 school year.

With a vote on budget reductions two weeks away, the IUSD Board of Education resumed its dialogue over the state fiscal crisis and its impact on our schools at Tuesday night’s meeting.

The Board of Education's scheduled vote on proposed budget reductions for 2010-11 has been postponed until Tuesday, March 16.

School board members, district staff and the community on Tuesday took part in the latest discussion related to the state budget crisis and its impact on IUSD, with much of the conversation centering on elementary art, music and science programs.

Just a reminder that Monday, Feb. 15, is a federal holiday in honor of President Washington's Birthday, and that means all Irvine Unified School District campuses and offices will be closed. We’ll see you back at school on Tuesday, Feb. 16.
