Richland district trims budget while planning student programs
Richland School District trims a projected cut from state funding, avoids teacher salary reductions, and preserves health benefits. The district outlines plans for full-day kindergarten, potential K6 site changes, a parent outreach program, an opportunity class at Richland Junior High, and a district-wide English Language Learner program as budget workshops proceed ahead of the May and June board meetings. California faces broader lunch program strain as about half of students qualify for free or reduced meals, with four million daily meals served.
