California's schools gird for steep cuts

California's schools gird for steep cuts
Schwarzenegger's budget plan triggers trims in programs and plans for layoffs in L.A. County and elsewhere.

The Long Beach school board voted to close an elementary school this week. The Rialto Unified School District, in what is believed to be the first such action in the state this year, sent notices to 305 employees including teachers, informing them that they may not have a job next fall. The San Francisco school district may take city "rainy day" money to help balance its budget.
