Free pork rinds for all!!
Is the money going to materialize in one of those big sizzling electric time-travel energy spheres from the future?
It's not a matter of $'s
It's who's: administering, teaching & what they're teaching (or not)
He's in trouble.
Ahnold has been taking Kennedy-Bush lessons I see.
And some democrats will spin this as a cut in education spending. And the MSM will print/air the democrats claim without checking it's validity.
How much of that will be used to accomodate non-English speaking peoples who shouldn't be here anyway?
Me thinks that what this indicates is that Arnold had a deal with his wife and her buddies; that he could first try some reforms via the initiative route, but that if those failed, he'd have to cave and follow a pure liberal line on governance.
You mean literacy and the 3 R's are important?
The budget proposes $100 million to create a new art and music block grant to support standards-aligned K-8 art and music instruction.
Private Schooling would double the quality of "education" at half the price per student.
The NEA is quite the business scam -- as is government.
Ya! Robotic cyber money from the future!
I know that for the last 10 years, half the kids entering the community colleges couldn't pass basic proficiency tests. I pulled my own kids (back when) out of pub ed when SCIENCE programs were CUT from K-12. And while I was off working my kids' brains, somehow PE got majorly gutted in K-12 in the SF Bay Area. Science and math in the SF Bay Area has been a joke and pathetic for too many years.
Maybe some of that new funding will go into investigating WASC, the "so-called" teacher credentialling board". 'Bout damned time, in my opinion.
The state GOP should rescind its endorsement of Arnold.
He seems to be abandoning the Republican party. We must signal that we are not a potted plant. And we must be prepared to walk away from Arnold next fall if he doesn't shape up drastically.
Right now, he's a Girlie Man.
Proposition 49: The 2002 voter-approved initiative, which expands access to before- and after-school programs, will be fully funded for the first time, with an increase of $428 million.

The budget is balanced, there is no deficit?
That's Breaking News. ;-)
LOL!! Good one!
Vouchers, please.
Forget the 4 billion.
Of course, if we no longer provided services to illegals (estimated cost 9 billion per year), we would have the money.
