At a press briefing Wednesday, Philadelphia School District Chief Financial Officer Michael Masch said that the school system must plan on an additional $35 million in cuts.

The district was hoping for $57 million in reimbursements for charter school costs, but the state has refused them. The district receive $22 million more than expected thanks to an Accountability Block Grant, but not enough, bringing the new gap to $35 million on top of the $629 million gap announced this spring to be made up through a combination of layoffs, deep program cuts and additional money from the city.

The school district is trying to negotiate $75 million in give-backs from its five unions. The largest, the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers, has said they won't negotiate.
