Thaw between Schwarzenegger and California school groups?Maybe not quite yet. But one sign is positive. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's top education advisor said the governor is prepared to consider raising taxes as part of a long-term solution to the problems plaguing California schools, reports the Los Angeles Times.
The statement by California Education Secretary Alan Bersin came in a Dec. 1 speech to the California School Boards Association. Read about it here:
(Bersin) thanked CSBA for being part of an Education Coalition that "put out the hand" to the state administration after this year's bitter special election campaign. In November, voters rejected all of the governor's ballot initiatives, including Proposition 76, which CSBA and other coalition members argued was a serious assault on minimum school funding guarantees under Proposition 98."It would be foolish to pretend we don't have a lot of healing to do," Bersin said.
