REMEMBER TO VOTE!!

There are two elections still to come in 2008:

June 24 – CUSD Special Recall Election

November 4 - General Election

 Aviation Fuel Pipeline Update

School Board Meeting - June 16, 2008

There was an update regarding the pipeline located near the north-east field at SJHHS.  The power point presentation can be download below.  The study is not complete (no recommendations have been made), but there was a great deal of analysis regarding the risk and this is very informative for parents.  Another presentation is expected in July with any recommendations or necessary mitigation.  The overall conclusion was that even in the event of a rupture, there was little to no chance of the fuel making it to the campus.

Latest on state budget

Governor Schwarzenegger’s May Revise proposes giving schools another $1.2 billion, which is $8 million for CUSD. That was enough for Superintendent Carter to recommend to the CUSD Board of Trustees that all permanent teachers be reinstated, which they approved on June 2.

Both the Assembly & Senate Democrats have now come out with their education budgets, which would restore an additional $2.3 billion and $3 billion respectively to schools. That would mean about $15 - $20 million more respectively for CUSD.

The next step in the budget process is for the Budget Conference Committee to meet and negotiate differences in the proposals between the two legislative houses, which is happening at the moment.

Ultimately, the “Big Five,” which includes the Governor and Republican and Democratic leaders from both houses, will meet to negotiate a deal that can be brought to the floor in both the Assembly and Senate for a vote.  The budget requires a two-thirds majority vote to pass in each house. It then goes to the Governor for his signature.

It’s essential to understand that the state budget process is far from over.  These latest proposals from the legislative subcommittees are just that – proposals.  In many respects, the real negotiations in Sacramento are just now getting underway.  It is vital that PTAs remain strong in raising our voices on behalf of all children over the summer.
