The Budget & Policy Center recently released an analysis of the Governor's supplemental budget proposal that includes $1.6 billion in cuts to vital state programs and services. To read the entire paper, click here.

In the area of education and opportunity, the total budget cuts, including the enacted cuts and the Governor's supplemental budget cuts for the 09-11 biennium, would amount to a 14 percent reduction in spending from preschool to universities. Higher education and worker training would be hit particularly hard, with a 23 percent cut in total.

The table below details the Governor's proposed budget cuts in efforts to improve education and opportunity in the state.
