SCUSD Meeting In Lincoln Village

Sacramento City Unified School District (SCUSD), which includes Abe Lincoln, AM Winn, Einstein, and Rosemont, has been facing very serious budget problems. The district has already cut over $20 million and may be looking at mid-year cuts reaching up to another $30 million. The district is even looking at closing some school sites in an extreme effort to cut costs.

A special community meeting is to be held by SCUSD on Tuesday, January 13th, at AM Winn Elementary School located on Explorer. This meeting is to inform the public about options the district is considering and to seek our input. The meeting is scheduled from 6 pm to 8 pm. Although the district has scheduled meetings at other schools in other parts of the district, this will be the only meeting in the Lincoln Village, Countryside or Rosemont areas.

Even if you do not have children currently enrolled in SCUSD schools, this is an important meeting to attend. The quality of local schools are a big factor in the value of our homes and in the ability the next generation to gain the skills they will need to be productive members of our communities.
