Potential Changes in Landline Services: Pasadena City Staff Actively Engaged in AT&T Requests Monitoring
The Pasadena City Manager’s office has informed residents and businesses about potential changes in landline telephone services proposed by AT&T.
If approved, these changes would relieve AT&T from providing landline service, including critical services like Lifeline rates and 9-1-1 access.
AT&T has filed two requests with the California Public Utilities Commission, and the City of Pasadena falls within the service region that would be affected by these potential changes.
The California Public Utilities Commission is holding public forums to gather input from AT&T customers, and the City of Pasadena’s Department of Information Technology is actively engaged with California Public Utilities Commission and AT&T representatives to monitor the situation.
Pasadena Unified School District Confronts Budget Deficit, Considers Staff Reductions
In response to a projected budget deficit of $10.1 million for the upcoming fiscal year, the Pasadena Unified School District is contemplating staff reductions to mitigate the financial strain.
The district is focused on minimizing the impact on students and preserving the quality of education amid the budget constraints.
The potential staff reductions are part of the district's strategy to navigate the financial difficulties and secure a sustainable future for Pasadena's education system.
