The Governor's Budget Proposal

January 15, 2008

January 11, 2008 
Dear Members 
 
Gov. Schwarzenegger released his 2008-09 budget proposal 
yesterday. His proposal calls for 10 percent 
across-the-board cuts, which include child development 
programs.  
 
Preschool California is continuing to analyze the 
proposal's impacts on the state's youngest children. Please 
see the Child Development Policy Institute's information 
bulletin on the budget. For specifics on child development 
programs, please refer to the section titled "Child Care 
and Development After School Cuts Proposed" on pp. 5-6. 
 
The governor's proposal is the beginning of the budget 
discussion. In the next several weeks and months, as the 
Legislature develops its budget, we look forward to working 
with you to ensure California maintains its commitment to 
pre-k and child development programs.  
 
Thank you.
