"The San Diego Unified School District's Board of Education Tuesday night unanimously passed a resolution calling for the state government to solve its budget woes without placing further financial burdens on education.
The resolution, sponsored by board member Richard Barrera, calls for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Legislature to take 'a balanced approach' to solving fiscal problems 'that includes both new revenues and budget cuts to reduce the negative impacts of excessive cuts to education.'
The resolution promises the district will advocate 'progressive tax policies,' and for simple majorities for the Legislature to raise taxes and pass an annual budget. The Assembly and Senate require two-thirds majorities to do both."
