I think K-16 accounts for 50% of the budget (mental health another 25%). If you're going to make cuts, these are the accounts to start. If we could abolish public education, our budget would be in huge surplus. Private schools would then fill the void to provide higher quality education at much lower average cost.
I agree that it is unfair to balance the budget on the backs of CCSD teachers. I'll make a deal with the CCEA. If we can reduce state spending to a very doable $100M per year, you guys can pick which little red schoolhouse stays open, and the teacher who gets to work there. Furthermore, you guys can be first in line for the other jobs which, constitutionally speaking, we must fill. For example, we should replace all those overpaid, dunderhead prison guards with 1st year teachers. Laid-off teachers can work as support staff in our few state mental/physical benevolent institutions. CCEA members can be commissioned as (reserve) Lieutenants in our state militia.
