K thru 12 Education
Program Enhancements and Other Budget Adjustments

The 2007-08 Governor's Budget fully funds the Proposition 98 guarantee, as well as a number of new education initiatives, even while realizing General Fund savings in Proposition 98 and the California State Teachers' Retirement System.

Demonstrating the Administration's continuing commitment to improve California's public schools, the Governor's Budget proposes a number of new one-time and ongoing education initiatives. These proposals, along with the major education investments made by the Administration in the last three years, will continue to address the most pressing needs facing students and parents, including:

  • Teacher shortages
  • Transparent schoolsite information
  • Career Technical Education
  • Low-performing schools
  • Preparing students to graduate from high school
  • Improving student health
