Over the last three years, California has seen historic reductions in school funding. For the San Diego Unified School District, this means a reduction of nearly 20 percent in school funding over three years, while the enrollment has increased by nearly 2 percent. That's a reduction of $180 million, plus another $16 million that might have to be cut before the end of the 2009-10 school year. Check the list of proposed budget cuts .
