California Educators Challenge Newsom's Budget Cuts as Unconstitutional

Governor's proposal to address deficit faces backlash over potential long-term impact on school funding

Gov. Gavin Newsom's revised budget aims to address a $27.6 billion deficit by adjusting school funding baselines.
Educational leaders argue the proposal violates Proposition 98, which guarantees minimum funding for schools.
The California Teachers Association warns the plan could reduce future school funding by nearly $12 billion.
Newsom's administration defends the plan, stating it prevents immediate cuts and maintains stability for schools.
Potential legal action and public campaigns are being considered by educators to oppose the budget changes.
