big juan: that's the same thing i heard, along with the fact that the recent multi-billion dollar bond that the California voters approved at the beginning of the month was for construction ONLY.... too bad they couldn't find some way of putting some of that money into the kids, but the level of mistrust between the voters/taxpayers and the politicians and school administrators has gotten so bad that this would never happen because of the accountability issues.... anyways there'd be massive waste when the bureaucrats get involved in trying to move that money around and of course, the money that falls off of the books......>:
