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.

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.
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.

Some 5,000 teachers rallied at Los Angeles' Pershing Square on Friday, joining thousands of colleagues from across California in a day of massive protests against state budget cuts to education.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - California faces a smaller budget deficit in the coming fiscal year but will require nearly $5 billion in cuts to public education if voters reject Gov. Jerry Brown's plan to raise taxes in the fall, the governor said Thursday in releasing his budget proposal for 2012-13.

Brown said the budget cuts he enacted this year, combined with additional cuts and his call for temporary tax increases in the coming fiscal year will all but end the massive deficits that have defined California's fiscal planning.
