California School Boards Association (CSBA) Comments on Current Budget Crisis and the Republicans Response

Sacramento, CA

Excerpt from 4/29/08 CSBA "Schools State Budget Alert -"

What's Next?

"While we can appreciate the Assembly and Senate Republicans coming together and making education a priority, CSBA believes the minimum funding guarantee must be upheld without manipulations and sleight-of-hand tricks that would have the appearance of fully funding the minimum guarantee while actually reducing funding for schools."
