Walnut Creek School Districts

"Walnut Creek School District's board decided Monday to get behind the governor and pass a resolution that urges tax extensions be placed on the June ballot."
Original Article

     Researchers are saying that if the tax extension is not on the bill, "K-12 funding throughout the state could be cut an additional $4.8 billion, or about $800 per student." In my personal opinion, I do not really see the problem with having a little less money for our schools. Yes, our class room sizes may grow or we may not be able to afford everything that we may want, but we could be in a lot worse situation. When you look at things with the bigger picture in mind, it may not seem that bad. Schools in other states have classes of up to 40 children and schools in other countries have classes with about 80 children in them. We are a very privileged area and I do not think that the world will come to an end if this does not get on the ballot.
