Shafter School Budget Battle Details in California Senate Fight
The article outlines a budget clash in Sacramento affecting school districts including Richland-Lerdo. Superintendent Dr Dan Knapp notes districts already settled with employees at a 2.18 percent cost of living adjustment. Gov Pete Wilson's 73.8 billion plan includes 4.5 percent general spending and 2.9 billion for public schools, but a 4.4 billion surplus altered funding. Knapp warns against schools used as political football by lawmakers. Other issues include textbook funding, license fees, and proposals to lower class sizes in grades seven through twelve from 35–40 to about 25 students.
