<div><b>Page Content:</b> <p></p><span></span><div><strong>SAN JOSE, CA</strong> – In response to significant shifts in funding and to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of essential student programs and services, the ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û (ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û) has made the difficult decision to implement strategic staffing reductions. While these decisions are never easy, they were made with careful consideration and a deep sense of responsibility to the students, families, and districts we serve. This action reflects ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û’s commitment to preserving core services amid ongoing fiscal challenges at the state and federal levels.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Over the past several years, the ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û has experienced a combination of declining one-time state and federal funding, grants at the conclusion of their cycle, rising operational costs, and changes in how educational services are funded across the state and federal government. These pressures have created a structural imbalance that could jeopardize ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û’s ability to deliver high-quality services if left unaddressed. Despite proactive efforts to reduce non-personnel expenses and realign resources, staffing reductions have become necessary to balance the budget responsibly and ensure compliance with government mandates.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="/news/NR/_layouts/15/https&" target="_blank">Linked here</a> is an ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û budget and staffing update.&#160;&#160;</div><div><br></div><div style="text-align&#58;center;">###</div><div style="text-align&#58;center;">&#160;</div><div style="text-align&#58;center;"><span class="ms-rteFontSize-2"><em>About the ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û</em></span></div><div style="text-align&#58;center;"><span class="ms-rteFontSize-2"><em>Working collaboratively with school and community partners, the ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û (ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û) is a regional service agency committed to serving, inspiring, and promoting student and public school success.
