Two Different Bids for More School Money
"Almost everyone wants more money for schools right now. The debate is over how to get it.
Some San Diego parents are pushing California to change its laws for a shot at a second dose of school stimulus money. Their hope is that if California changes its rules to suit the federal government, it could get as much as $500 million to help plug school deficits statewide. The school board is also interested in more money, but it may push California in another direction, nudging the state to look at new or different taxes.
The split reveals the differing views in San Diego Unified on how the state should ease its budget crisis."
