  1. From Scenarios to Action: Building a Budget Foundation For 2010-2012 Upland Unified School District Board of Education February 23, 2010

  2. BREAKING BUDGET NEWS FROM CSBA February 18, 2010 “While lawmakers are not taking up any of the governor’s specific proposals to make cuts to education this year, school funding may be affected by the governor’s proposed gas tax swap, which would move some revenue out of the state’s general fund – and could thereby lower the Proposition 98 base by $800 million.” “Meanwhile, the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office has released a report confirming CSBA’s own analysis that the governor’s 2010-11 budget proposal would cost K-12 public schools $2.4 billion – despite Schwarzengger’s vow to “protect education funding.”

  3. BREAKING BUDGET NEWS FROM CSBA February 18, 2010 “Anticipating the state’s dire financial picture will persist into the foreseeable future, the analysis advises lawmakers to take a comprehensive look at the state’s priorities and suggests working toward creating a ‘new, sustainable budget framework’ that would need to encompass both revenues and spending.” “The ‘bottom line,’ according to the LAO, is that legislators need to act immediately – by March, well before June’s constitutional deadline for a budget – if any savings are to be realized this year. And it’s going to hurt, said the analysis.
