The Sacramento City Unified School District would lose about $304 per student under Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposed budget, according to an analysis by the California Budget Project.

The analysis examines the governor's proposal to reduce K-12 education funding by $2.7 billion in 2010-11. About $1.75 billion of those cuts would come at the district level.

Stockton City schools would lose $305 per student in the district. Modesto City Elementary schools would see a reduction of about $290 per student, while the city's high school district would lose $347 per student.
