Schools, city stare into abyss

San Diego Union Tribune reports:

The San Diego Unified School District and city of San Diego are struggling to find a way to end chronic budget shortfalls that have plagued them in recent years and are projected to continue into the future. Deficits in past years have been closed with increasingly painful cuts, funding shifts and one-time measures. Both the school board and City Council are moving toward possible solutions they hope will bring long-lasting answers to their problems.
