General education may be hit again by the California Budget:
"A few years back, when California was having financial trouble the Governor borrowed against Proposition 98, the minimum guarantee for education funding in our state. Essentially money was taken from all school age children in California. However, when the money was repaid a special categorical was set up – The Quality Education Investment Act (QEIA) and the money was allocated to the lowest achieving schools.
Taking from all and giving to a few seems to be the pattern again in Sacramento. Last week the Senate approved a bill and sent it on to the Assembly that would use the last of the federal support from the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund (SFSF) to backfill cuts made last year to QEIA."
