So if you don't like Plan A ...how about Plan B?

As the budget discussion continues and the days mark down on the Governor's deadline to get authorization for a June ballot measure, the Legislative Analyst Office (LAO) in Sacramento issued his own Plan B.  So what do we do if the tax extension doesn't work?  Or what if we really can't make all the reductions proposed?  Etc.

The Plan B obviously has lots of impacts, but relative to K-12 education it would essentially propose an additional reduction of $750 per student against an existing $5,000 funding level.  This basically adds another 15% in reductions to what already is arguably the lowest funding level in the United States.  I believe this will have a serious effect on our children/students -- FAR beyond the effects that it has already had.
