They are gonna go after prop 13 as their solution.

I suspect this number is a bit large but it should work for them.

I notice there was no mention of paring/cutting/reducing/firing any administrators only productive people like teachers, nurses, maintenance staff. This seems to be a nationwide trend as the same situation is taking place in Oklahoma.
Local superintendent makes 100K plus car and unknown other perks and has 3 assistants. No one has figured out what, if anything they do(supposedly some are professional "grant writers" disgusting as that sounds). Teachers make about 1/3 of that and no car. Despite the financial crunch, no one has observed any superintendents offering to take any pay cut preferring to fire teachers instead.
Likewise, no one has put the super's and assistants jobs up for bid and it seems a big mystery how these salarys are determined as there is no comptetition, just a good old boy network of backslapping and giving raises.
There are hundreds of super's similarly situated in the state as every cross roads has a school district with full staff. I can just imagine the numbers and the waste in CA.
