How the State budget affects LAUSD

Summary  
Funding for K-14 (including community colleges) education in 2008-09 is essentially at the same level as in 2007-08 which means that $3 billion was cut from K-14 education under the Prop 98 guarantee.

Bottom Line:
Even though LAUSD did get a small COLA (0.6%) and some new money which can only be spent on specific schools and programs (Program Improvement and QEIA), it is not enough money to absorb the increase costs of doing business or inflation. LAUSD balanced its budget by proposing 4 furloughs days.  The state budget does not give LAUSD enough money to eliminate all those days.  REGARDLESS OF LAUSD BUDGET, LAUSD MUST NEGOTIATE WITH SEIU LOCAL 99 HOW AND WHETHER FURLOUGH DAYS ARE IMPLEMENTED.
