What exactly does prop 98 guarantee?

If you've been watching TV lately, reading the paper or listening to the radio, then you have been witnessing the dissembling of the Governor over his budget, and particularly the fact he "won't give the money back" that he owes the schools.

Prop 98 is a piece of government work for sure... Full of VARIOUS methods of funding the schools, suspension policies and payback methods. It was enacted into law into 1988 by California voters, after being campaigned for and sponsored by the California Teachers Association (The largest teacher's union in the state). The CTA knows very well how 98 works.

Do you? Here is an EXCELLENT primer on Prop 98 - it is a MUST read from the Department of Education. Read it - and then tell me...

What say you?
