VACAVILLE — If the worst happens, the Vacaville School District can lean on one of its unions and use money in the bank to save programs and positions.
The district’s chapter of Service Employees International Union tentatively agreed Tuesday to 11 furlough days, saving the district more than $1 million.
The district at best is facing a $4 million deficit and at worst an $8.2 million deficit for next school year, depending on what happens with the state budget and tax initiatives this fall. It is planning for different scenarios because by law the district must pass its budget by June 30.
