My name is Long Jiao, and as a member of the Cupertino Union School District (CUSD) Board of Education, I am dedicated to building stronger connections with our community through transparent communication and feedback opportunities. These independent surveys help me stay informed on your priorities and ensure diverse voices guide our work. Please note: This survey is conducted solely by me and does not represent the official position of the full CUSD Board.
CUSD is navigating significant budget challenges, including a $31+ million deficit in FY 2024-2025 and a projected $11+ million shortfall in FY 2025-2026. At the October 30, 2025, Board Advance meeting, staff outlined initial fiscal stabilization proposals focused on middle school electives and Transitional Kindergarten (TK) adjustments to achieve $4–5 million in targeted savings. These aim to preserve core programs while addressing enrollment declines and funding gaps. For full background, click here.
