"They're getting the funds that we should be getting," she added.

Interesting focus. It's all about the money, to these so-called 'educators.' Where is the, "We're obviously not providing what the people want, so they're voting with their feet," focus?

And, in another surprising newsflash, their wildly proclaimed 'friendliness' to homosexuals has resulted in a drop in population in the SF Bay area. Who'da thunk it?

'"They're getting the funds that we should be getting," she added.'

You don't get the funds if you don't have the students.

Must be another whinnnnning lib.

The same thing is happening in South Florida after decades of portable classrooms and school overcrowding. Now there is negative growth.

Hope New Jersey is taking note of this ... .

We have more people LEAVING than coming to the state, LEGALLY.

In other words; We want something for nothing

Some are running screaming to homeschooling. Of course. The teachers' unions are accomplishing what the auto unions in Detroit did -- make things so utopian that the whole darned industry craters.

In this case, it will be a good cure.

If they could just find a way to tax the citizens of Mexico...

Meanwhile, the Inland Empire is growing like crazy."

Inland empire???

"They're getting the funds that we should be getting," she added.

Maybe they should have "ghost" students like when New Orleans had "ghost" deputies on their police force.

Parents moving from CA to TX need to brace themselves, especially if they have kids in HS: their children will be far behind their peers, thanks to the poor education environment in CA.

My evidence is empirical, but the consensus among the teachers that I've spoken with, HS kids transferring from CA are normally two years behind their peers taught in TX schools.

Don't know what it is for other states--any and all input is appreciated.

It's sad: I received my education in CA public schools when they were excellent. Every student in my 6th grade class was reading at 11th grade level or higher. One novel we read in class was Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo.

They have no supply of "undocumented" students?

Maybe parents do not want their children in kindergarten being taught that homosexuality is normal.

And just what do they do with these funds? Certainly not educate the children.

Whittier has a huge Hispanic population, largely illegal. So, all those rental properties are turning into newly gentrified neighborhoods. Sounds like a positive thing to me.

Californians poison the political environment wherever they go. All across the West are areas where people are sick and tired of Californians taking over everything and re-making all of the CFs that caused them to leave California in the first place.

"the top three destinations being Arizona, Texas and Mexico."

What that translates into is mostly illegals, since those going to Texas or Arizona are likely illegal as well.

Don't I just know it!

This should be easy to solve, Superintendent Franco. If there are hundreds fewer students, you simply fire dozens of teachers who are no longer needed. That can be done overnight...unless you are afraid of the NEA and their goon lawyers.
