As they cut courses at the UC and CSU campuses more students who are able to get into the UC or able to get into the CSU are now going to the community colleges, which has created a tremendous pressure on us," said [Justin Chacon]. "It's estimated that this year a quarter of a million community college students will be squeezed out. "Mi tiempo está contado, yo tengo que apurarme lo más que pueda porque después de este tiempo yo tengo que entrar a trabajar y voy a seguir estudiando pero me va tocar mucho más tiempo terminar", dijo [Sandra Galindo]. "Es una presión constante, te ayuda pero no te ayuda te dan poquito pero te lo cobran con sangre, tenemos úlceras, tenemos gastritis, no dormimos, es mucho estrés, es ayuda entre comidas", añadió Galindo.
PASADENA - As students across the state continue protesting cuts to higher education, state senators on the Budget and Fiscal Review Committee convened this past week for a look at the devastation an "all-cuts" budget could unleash on California's public education system. The damage to higher education, as outlined in recommendations from the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office, would approach $3 billion, including about $800 million slashed from community colleges and $1 billion each from the California State University and University of California systems.
EDUCATION: L.A. demonstration is among many aimed at stopping massive layoffs due to state's financial woes. Some 5,000 teachers rallied at downtown's Pershing Square on Friday, joining thousands of colleagues from across California in a day of massive protests against state budget cuts to education.
CINCINNATI, May 25 /PRNewswire/ -- A Google (TM) search of spring 2010 education-related headlines is telling - "California Budget Crisis Diaries: K-12 education has bigger cuts," "Virginia legislators target K-12 schools in budget cuts," and "College leaders raise alarm on budget cuts." From coast to coast, district and college budgets are declining. A major area of expense for districts and colleges alike is workers' compensation claims that often result from seemingly innocent behavior - a teacher stands on a desk to remove a poster from the wall and falls, injuring her ankle. Or a campus maintenance worker doesn't follow proper procedure on scaffolding and is critically hurt. The scenarios for K-14 work-related injuries are numerous and the impact to an already tight fiscal budget c...
SAN BERNARDINO - Student and faculty groups rallied Tuesday at Cal State San Bernardino in support of Gov. Jerry Brown's budget proposal, saying Republican plans to cut funding for higher education - in order to avoid extended tax increases - would lock many students out of a better life and hurt the overall economy. Higher fees, faculty furloughs and impacted enrollment have devastated this campus already," said Sean Phillips, a senior at the university who was one of four speakers at the 20-minute event. "Higher (education) historically has been the gateway to a better life in California. Now budget cuts are closing that path.
As lawmakers and Gov. Jerry Brown scramble to figure out what's next following the collapse of budget talks with Republicans, there's one unsettling fact that should guide them: An all-cuts budget for next year would destroy California's future. For education alone, the potential for disaster is unfathomable. There would be tens of thousands of teacher layoffs in K-12 schools, classrooms built for 20 children would hold 40, community colleges could turn away some 400,000 students, and on and on.
The days of kids grudgingly getting up early on summer days to catch up on their academics is slowly but surely going by the wayside at San Gabriel Valley and Whittier-area schools, thanks to several years of state funding cuts. Last year, an informal survey conducted by the California Department of Education about the budget cuts schools made in the 2008-09 and 2009-10 school years showed about a quarter had been forced to reduce their supplemental instruction programs, including summer school.
The failure of the California Legislature is trickling down into public school classrooms. It's bad enough that public education has absorbed such huge budget cuts over the past couple of years. But now, on top of that, California schools can't get hold of funding that the federal government is trying to give them, all because of the Legislature's inability to pass a budget.
It's more than disappointing to have seen the protests on March 4 against the state budget cuts to education in California. I want to point out something that we haven't seen - Americanism.
