Budget Cuts and Public School Teachers

With the 14 billion California state deficit and the Governor’s proposed budget plan that ravages all public institutions except the department of corrections and the department of transportation, public schools are hurting. A good amount of school districts have resorted to laying off teachers. Rewind 5 minutes ago; I thought public schools throughout the country and especially in LA county needed qualified, certified, and committed teachers to educate the growing adolescent population? Nevermind the needs, bring on the problems. Read here about how public school teachers are being courted by the booming charter school operation. I can only hope that people get on the same page and revert back to the initial success of California’s master plan for education, where everyone in the state was promised access to furthering their aptitude in world-class facilities.
