Pink slips and budget cuts have been as much a sign of springtime at Lowell in recent years as warm weather and baseball opening day.
But Governor Schwarzenegger’s proposed 2008-2009 state budget calls for nearly $5 billion in cuts to public education from preschool to the
University of California system, threatening dramatic additional cuts to school budgets across the state and, most importantly, right here at Lowell.
Lowell faces a $1 million budget shortfall for the coming school year, which translates into the loss of eight staff members and elimination of our
bare bones supplies budget. We expect to be able to maintain library hours and staffing only by eliminating $80,000 originally earmarked for book
purchases, magazine and supplies.
The Lowell Alumni Association and Lowell PTSA are working together to address this critical situation and have already pledged a combined $500,000
to bridge half of the estimated shortfall, but additional efforts will be needed to maintain all of Lowell’s current programs and course offerings.
