Los Angeles preliminary school budget calls for sizable cuts

March 15, 2012
Proposed statewide tax referendum in November could improve district's financial condition

From The Los Angeles Times: The Los Angeles School Board has approved a preliminary, worst-case $6-billion budget that would eliminate thousands of jobs, close all of the district's adult schools and cut some after-school and arts programs. But Supt. John Deasy also presented several scenarios that would restore millions in funding and save some programs from either elimination or partial cuts before the budget is finalized. Much of that is contingent on voters' passing the governor's tax initiative in November, which is intended to stave off more education cuts.
