Why is AUSD planning for budget reductions in 2003-2004?
The 2002-03 California state budget passed in August, 2002 used hocus pocus to ignore a $26 billion problem. After the election, the Governor revealed there was a problem. That problem appeared to be around $30 billion. The Governor convened a Special Session in January to begin to address the problem. By March the Legislature sent legislation to Governor that uses more hocus pocus to address the problem. For the details of impact all of this hocus pocus, see Impact on AUSD.
