Oakland Unified proposes to cut central office jobs to help balance next year's budget

After working for months to come up with a plan to balance its budget for next year, Oakland Unified may not need to cut jobs as deeply as originally expected. A proposal to save $16.5 million includes eliminating at least 53 jobs instead of the more than 300 originally anticipated.

The job cuts would save $7 million in the district’s central office. An additional $3 million could be saved by cutting staff and other costs from the district’s 86 schools. The school-based cuts could include teacher jobs.
