Six months after it was first proposed for termination but saved following outcry from outraged parents, a long-running Torrance Unified program for low-income families has been canceled.

With inadequate funding from the state, officials said the district can no longer afford the Torrance Children's Center child care and development program. It will cease operation when the school year ends in June.

"It's pretty devastating," said Lorena Johnson, who went through the program herself and whose 4-year-old daughter now participates. "I have no idea what we're going to do."
