Overview
Davis' revised May budget plan included fewer cuts to education.
Governor Davis presented his revised May budget plan for 2003-2004, lessening the blow to education by reducing the proposed cuts he presented in his January budget proposal.
Some highlights include:
- Davis scrapped his proposal for across-the-board cuts to 64 categorical programs. He instead proposed to make cuts to specific programs.
- He proposed to continue his $1.7 billion class size reduction program and his accountability program.
- Community college fees will increase from $11 a unit to $18. In January, Davis proposed to raise fees to $24 a unit.
