San Francisco schools are facing a massive deficit created by years of overspending as well as recent raises, leaving the district with no choice but to cut staffing by more than 900 already vacant positions, according to district officials.
Superintendent Matt Wayne was expected to give the school board the big budget picture Tuesday evening and — based on a preview of his presentation — the current outlook is ugly.
Without taking drastic action to address spending, the board would face a $421 million deficit by the 2025-2026 school year, equaling more than a third of the current $1.2 billion budget.
