This is going to be a good year for California's community colleges.

Prop 98 funds are coming in higher than originally projected. While much of this funding is one-time money, it still represents additional resources for California’s community college system. The Governor’s May Revise adds to the rosiness, proposing the system receive a 4.31% Cost of Living increase that includes money (1.4%) to finally implement 14 weeks of maternity leave for the K-14 system, an inequity long overdue.
