The San Marcos Unified School District board considered staff reductions. The district faces a $10 to $11 million budget deficit next year. A proposal to reduce elementary school librarians' hours was blocked. However, layoff notices were approved for about 17 teachers, social workers, and counselors. District leaders anticipate further cuts in the coming years due to declining enrollment and rising costs.
