The Legislature and governor approved a state budget plan that cuts $3 billion from schools and leaves education vulnerable to mid-year cuts and more.
The “get out of town budget” shortchanges schools by an additional $3 billion next year. Instead of closing corporate tax loopholes, it creates new and bigger ones that will drain more funds from students and schools. This budget would also give new mid-year authority to the Governor and it undermines Prop. 98.
