Despite vowing to protect education, Governor Schwarzenegger’s proposed 2010–11 budget once again manipulates the numbers to reduce education funding by $900 MILLION in the current year and an additional $2.4 BILLION in 2010–11.
Schools simply can’t absorb these cuts on top of the $17 BILLION in reductions they’ve endured over the past two years. Cuts of these proportions have caused schools to close and have eliminated teachers, administrators, janitors, nurses, counselors, librarians, summer school, transportation, athletics and technology. These are the very programs that have increased academic success.
THIS MEANS MORE BUDGET CUTS FOR SOLANO COUNTY SCHOOLS.
