Deasy warns that looming budget cuts threaten classroom gains

L.A. schools Supt. John Deasy warned Monday of “catastrophic” consequences for local schools if California voters fail to approve tax measures on the November ballot.
In a speech billed as a state-of-the-schools address, Deasy took two distinctly different paths.
In the first part, he listed recent district accomplishments and insisted that the nation’s second-largest school system had never performed better, even though considerable improvement remains necessary. In part two, he laid out the argument that all this progress faces immediate risk if voters reject both Proposition 30 and Proposition 38.
Deasy spoke before an audience of educators, dignitaries and media at the Robert F. Kennedy Community
