California Teachers Association opposes part of Governor Gavin Newsom's proposed budget, claiming it could lead to a $12bn deficit in school funding.

California's largest teachers union, the California Teachers Association (CTA), opposes part of Governor Gavin Newsom's proposed budget, claiming it will "wreak havoc" on school funding. The CTA, which represents 310,000 educators, argues that while the proposal aims to protect public schools from $8.8bn in immediate cuts, it could lead to a $12bn deficit in the future due to changes in the school funding calculation method. The CTA is launching a public campaign to block the budget proposal and considers legal action as a potential next step.
