Among the facts David and Nikki explained include:

• The District’s budget was Ok for this year, it’s how the District budgeted for 2019-20, 2020-21 that is the problem.
• The District failed to account for an additional $3 million in ongoing state revenue in 2019-20, 2020-21.
• The District’s revenues have increased by nearly $100 million in revenue since 2014-15
• During the same time, Sac City has increased the number of administrators by 43%.
• SCTA has made a proposal to the District that would save $16.6 million per year, by simply reducing administrators to 2014-15 levels;
• SCTA has also proposed that Superintendent reduce his pay from $300,000 to $190,100–the same as Governor Jerry Brown.
