Program Enhancements and Other Budget Adjustments
California Science Center
The California Science Center is an educational science and technology center administered by a nine-member board of directors appointed by the Governor. The Science Center is a place where children, teachers, and families can explore how science is relevant to their everyday lives. Through hands-on experiences, children, teachers, and families are introduced to scientific principles in the context of the world that surrounds them. It is an approach intended to stimulate curiosity and challenge visitors to think, question, and see their world in an entirely new way. The Governor's Budget includes $26.7 million ($19.8 million General Fund), an increase of $5.7 million ($4.6 million General Fund) over the revised 2006-07 Budget.
OPERATIONAL STARTUP FOR THE PHASE II PROJECT
The Governor's Budget includes $1.9 million General Fund and 4.3 positions to begin hiring key employees and purchasing critical equipment necessary to bring the Phase II project online. The Phase II project is a 146,000 square-foot facility that will nearly double the amount of exhibit space at the Science Center, and will include the World of Ecology exhibit. Construction of the California Science Center Phase II Project will be completed in 2009.
