BACKGROUND
On February 12, 2020, the Trustees of the West Contra Costa Unified School District (WCCUSD) were scheduled to review $8M in Non-Salary Contract Reductions to address a looming $47.8M WCCUSD Budget projected for FY 2020/21.
Over several years, the City and WCCUSD have committed to a joint funding partnership which has been positive and productive in supporting non-academic contract services to eliminate or minimize many barriers and disparities to student academic achievement at local WCCUSD schools in San Pablo. In fact, the City of San Pablo will expend a total of $1.26M annually from its own City's General Fund (GF) Operating Budget for FY 2019/20, along with a WCCUSD funding annual contribution of $240,000, to jointly fund a number of City-provided programs and services at local WCCUSD schools in San Pablo on an annual basis which include, as follows:
* School Resource Officers (Total Net GF: $300,000)
* FSCS/Beacon Schools Team for Youth Grants/Contracts (Total Net GF: $667,000)
* Childhood Obesity Prevention Program Grants/Contracts (Total Net GF: $300,000)
