The Gilroy Unified School District is facing $3 million to $7 million in state cuts next year, which means the 17-year-old pool at South Valley Middle School will sink into the growing pile of budget casualties if someone doesn't throw it a lifeline.
The Gilroy Unified School District will not restore any of the five instructional furlough days for teachers, administrative and management staff this year, meaning graduation dates will stay the same and GUSD personnel won't get back any of their 4 percent pay cut.
Gilroy Unified School District trustees will begin to visit the feasibility of restoring furlough days during Thursday's Board of Education budget study session, but the glimmer of possible good news may be overshadowed by an ominous fiscal rain cloud.
