Our Governor has supported education during his past <br />years as Governor. <br /> <br /> B. Unfortunately, the proposed 1987-88 educational <br />budget represents-a major shift in state policy by reducing the <br />average per pupil expenditure to $189 less than the national <br />average. <br /> <br /> C. The children of Pleasanton would be particularly <br />impacted by budget cuts because Pleasanton Elementary School <br />District funding from the state is the lowest per pupil in <br />Alameda County. <br /> <br /> D. With the proposed budget, districts within our city <br />will not be able to maintain their current programs. <br /> <br /> E. The education of the children of Pleasanton are a <br />top priority with this City Council and the people of Pleasanton. <br /> <br />NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON <br />RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: <br /> <br />Section 1: The City Council requests the Governor and <br /> Legislature to revise the 1987-88 state budget to <br /> provide school funding per pupil equal to the national <br /> average, an increase of only $189 per pupil. <br /> <br />Section 2: As a longer term goal, our state should strive to <br /> have above average and even exemplary education. <br /> <br />Section 3: This resolution shall become effective immediately <br /> upon its passage and adoption. <br /> <br /> <br />
