Budget Continued from page 32 ongoing campaign to protect public edu- cation and secure the restoration of the bi llions in appropriations already slashed. On May 25, hundreds of CTA chapter presidents are slated to converge on the state Capitol as part of the Presidents’ Lobby Day. They will meet with their law- makers to provide them with details of how budget cuts are impacting their stu- dents’ educations at local schools. CTA and coalition members are lobbying law- makers on a daily basis to reject the gov- ernor’s newest round of budget cuts and to take steps to restore funding to schools. The battle over the budget is expected to heat up in mid-May, after the governor releases his updated budget proposal, the May Revision. The Legislature, which has been hold- ing hearings on the governor’s January proposal since it was released, will vet the budget revision. They are under constitu- tional pressure to send the governor a fi- nal spending plan by June 15. Under state law, the governor has until June 30 to sign a spending plan into law prior to the July 1 start of the new fiscal year.
