IRVINE
The Irvine Unified School District is about to embark on the broadest reorganization in its history, a plan trustees put into action when they voted Wednesday to hire a chief financial officer and restructure their administration.
And change will come swiftly.
After hearing the recommendations of financial consultant Dan Miller, Irvine City Council members offered to fund the new CFO position for the first few years.
Within 30 days, district trustees will appoint the new finance chief if officials follow Miller’s implementation proposal.
The second phase of Miller’s proposal, which should be completed in 90 days, will focus on a new administrative structure.
The district is facing a $4-million budget gap and will have to cut programs and lay off teachers if a $95 parcel tax is not approved by voters April 11.
