Can the District save money by eliminating programs such as Adult Education, Student Care, or Food Services?
No. These types of programs are self-supporting and are not a part of the General Fund. Eliminating these services will not generate more funds for our elementary and high schools. In fact, eliminating these programs might have an adverse impact because they help to pay for some costs of facilities, maintenance, and energy. 9. The District has postponed its contribution to retiree medical benefits once already. If we postpone the contribution again, will the District be able to continue to fund the benefits for qualified retirees to age 65? Yes. The contribution to retiree medical benefits is designed to protect the District’s long-range financial security, and the District can delay the contribution for another year.
