Parents in the Palos Verdes Unified School District are upset because their students will face large class sizes next year. Despite the secured funding for public schools following the passage of Prop 30, schools with larger populations of English Language Learners and underprivileged students will receive more money at the expense of wealthier districts.
One parent felt “bait-and-switched” into voting for Prop. 30.
I can only say: “Told ya so!”
The notion that Sacramento leaders would appropriate the new tax dollars appropriately is laughable yet predictable. That was never going to happen. The state legislature has a history of spending tax dollars on interest groups and political agendas contrary to the best interests of the state’s residents and the business class which forms the essential prosperity of our state.
If anyone was “bait-and-switched”, it was the voters who refused to recognize the truth, yet voted for the tax increases anyway.
