Suffering the largest budget cuts since the Great Depression, the casualties of the State’s budget battlefield will be starkly apparent when our students return to their schools this fall to find fewer teachers, fewer course offerings, and fewer resources. School funding was cut more than $12 billion. Class sizes will be painfully larger and many art, music, career technical education and other vital programs are gone. More than 17,000 teachers, nurses, school librarians and counselors lost their jobs. Community colleges and universities will turn away thousands of students.
