Budget Stabilization Plan
Oak Grove School District is working to address ongoing budget challenges caused by declining student enrollment and rising costs. When fewer students are enrolled, the district receives less state funding, even though the cost to operate our schools remains largely the same. This has created a budget deficit, meaning expenses are currently higher than revenue. To ensure Oak Grove remains financially stable and continues to provide quality education for all students, the Santa Clara County Office of Education has directed the district to develop a Fiscal Stabilization Plan to balance the budget.
To meet this goal, the district formed a Budget Advisory Committee (BAC) that includes:
- Parents
- Staff
- Employee bargaining units
- Support staff
- Management
The BAC is reviewing the budget and developing recommendations to reduce spending by about $5 million over the next two years—$3 million in 2026–2027 and $2 million in 2027–2028.
The district will present the plan for Board approval and submit it to the County Office by December 15, 2025. Community members are encouraged to stay informed by visiting this page for updates, meeting dates, and opportunities to participate in the process.
