Located in Cerritos, which sits near the border of L.A. and Orange Counties, ABC Unified School District received almost 17 million in Stimulus bucks, despite the fact that California spends nearly half its 40 billion dollar general fund on education.
The majority of the money went to "supporting education", which means Administrators', teachers', and employee salaries and pensions.
80,000.00 went to "improving technology access" and communications (a.k.a. wiring schools for the internet... wait, I thought the Gore Tax on our cell phone bills was for that, what gives here?).
Almost 95 grand went to the Free Lunch Program.
This is all money YOU will pay back at 2 bucks for every buck borrowed, and most of it went to fund teachers that you or your kids will never meet.
The Government through its stupidity caused the Housing Crash of 2007. Schools are funded through property taxes, which are in decline. Well-paid government employees will not suffer, however, even as your home value slides into the gutter and you have to borrow from your pension to make ends meet.
Thanks, Teachers' Unions. We appreciate that.
