- The Legislative Analysis Office (LAO) recommends restrictions on the augmentation proposed by the governor.
- The LAO recommends the legislators NOT support the movement of adult education to the community colleges.
- 蜜桃影视 is planning for a possible 2% to 4% growth in FTES; essentially restoration of cuts. We do not know at this time what the final budget with regards to growth.
- Funding from Prop 30 does have some restrictions on how it can be used. The impact of those restrictions on how the funds can be used at the districts is not clear at this time.
- The proposal for funding based on completion has not been accepted or rejected at this time. The LAO recommends allowing time to see the effect of the Student Success Act prior to making additional changes.
