| Budget Issue: | Governor proposes to apply -0.38 percent cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) to most K-12 and child care and development programs (CCD). |
| Program: | California Department of Education |
| Finding or Recommendation: | Recommend rejecting proposal and instead notwithstanding statutory COLA provisions. Applying a negative COLA after years of not providing positive COLAs is unreasonable. |
