Palo Alto Unified School District forecasts financial hardship and potential layoffs. This follows the failure of Measure B, a parcel tax that would have generated $15 million annually. The district also reached an impasse in contract negotiations with its teachers' union. Chief Business Officer Charen Yu stated staff positions and expenditures may be cut. Educators dispute the district's conservative budget projections, citing historically higher year-end balances.
