California Assemblymembers Brian Nestande and Kristin Olsen Re-Introduce Measure to Eliminate Education Budget Deferrals

Sierra Sun Times
Today, Assemblymembers Brian Nestande, R- Palm Desert, and Kristin Olsen, R-Modesto, introduced Assembly Constitutional Amendment 2 (ACA) that will stop the practice of balancing the state budget on the backs of our schools. “The practice of deferring education dollars to pay for other state programs has gotten out of control.  Our schools are going bankrupt over this scheme and it is not fair to our students, teachers, or schools,” said Nestande.  “It is time we have an honest budget that give our schools what they are constitutionally owed.  Our children deserve nothing less than that.”
