Sacramento City Unified delays paydays as county rejects revised budget

SCUSD plans to delay November and December paydays because it lacks cash before state apportionment arrives. After the county rejected its revised budget, the district board rejected all nine state-proposed Budget Review Committee candidates, citing doubts about independence, and asked for more names; a five-working-day selection deadline and state-superintendent fallback raise the stakes. A durable fix for the structural deficit is not established.
