School Board President Bob Vasquez plans to announce the review at a 10:30 a.m. press conference Thursday morning.

The district's five-year forecast, required by law, will be presented to the school board's finance committee on Oct. 20 and to the full board for approval at its Oct. 26 regular meeting.

Projections of a budget deficit last year caused some consternation because it increased from $30 million to $39 million in the midst of union negotiations.

The budget deficit for next school year has been projected at $44 million.
