Torrance to Present Proposed Cuts
Another reminder for the education-interested in Torrance: In a public session Tuesday night, Torrance Unified district staffers will present a primer on the ever-bleaker-looking state budget and -- even more interesting -- recommend to district trustees a slew of cuts aimed at filling an estimated $9-million hole in its 2008-2009 budget.
The special session of the board is being held in the cafeteria at JH Hull @ Levy, presumably to make more room for public attendance. The school is located at 3420 229th Street in Torrance.
Torrance has the biggest money gap to fill locally (outside of LAUSD, of course), but look for nearly every district in the area, in the state actually, to soon start making such proposals of their own. Prediction: It ain't gonna be pretty.
