Abstract
Whether school districts are being required to eliminate class-size reductions, music, arts, or athletic programs, lay off teachers or other staff, or eliminate basic school supplies, for the vast majority of states, this year's budgetary cuts to school districts coupled with the bad economy are having an enormous
impact on schools and their students. As California's public school districts brace themselves for massive, impending cuts over the next few years, this representative study of 16 California school districts provide insight as to how district-level school business officials are responding to mid-year budgetary cuts.
