Over the last four years California’s educational system has been suffering a lot because of the budget cuts.  In California, every student’s education is in jeopardy. Tuition every semester is raising and it making it harder for all of those that want to continue their education in higher education. The budget cuts makes it much harder for community college students to transfer to Universities and receive their degrees. So many programs in schools have been eliminated over the past years. Some of these programs make a huge difference for students to succeed in school and life. A solution for to our problem is proposition 30.  This proposition will prevent trigger cut and keep the many programs open, increase of tuition, and closing classes. This proposition will prevent schools of a $6.4 billion in cuts. It will raise more money for our schools, fire department, and police.  As a Cabrillo College student struggling to continue my education, I ague you to vote yes on prop 30.

If proposition 30 is unsuccessful it will trigger billions of cuts to all of the schools in California. As a result of the cutes many people will get layoff and the cost of education will increase. The fail of this proposition will make it harder for many students to continue in higher education.
 K-12 schools will expect a $5.5 billion trigger cuts. This will make will make the students academic year be three weeks shorter. The CSU system will increase the tuition for all students. The tuition will increase five percent to their for most of the students and the nonresident will see a seventh percent increase. The cost of per unit will increase from $372 to $399. As a result of the unsuccessful proposition, the CSU system will have a $250 trigger cuts in funding’s. The five percent fee increase is expected to raise $58 million to covert the cost of the loss. Most of the money raise from proposition will come from increasing the tax rate on incomes above $250,000 per individual and from couples earning $500,000 four seventh years. Also a tax sale will increase a cent for four years and is expected to raise $1.2 billion. Over the last past four years, cuts have made it harder for many people to continue in higher education. The fail of prop 30 will make many people drop form schools and make it harder for the rest of them to continue.
There will be fewer resources that help may students succeed and complete their education and graduate. It will make it much harder to transfer for students to transfer to universities, and for high school graduates to continue into higher education.

The economic situation at Cabrillo College has already delayed my graduation and for may other students to. My concern is if students will be able to receive their degree. I worry that I may not be able to graduate al all and attend San Jose state university to.
When I graduate from High School I knew I wanted to go in to the health care for some reasons that made how important is to have heath care. I grew up in Mexico where I am from health care resources are very limited and in our town we didn’t have medical clinics or for our people who got sick. My grandpa, who I would see as a father would get sick a lot because he had lung disease.  We would have to drive an hour to a town where they had a clinic. Getting help for my grandpa was difficult because of the distance, money issues and we didn’t have a car and we needed to ask someone from the town who had a car to help us take him to the clinic.
I decided to go into healthcare because I believe it’s sad to see people not getting help when they are sick. I would not like for other people to see or go through my experience because of the budget cuts will make it for people to complete or make it harder for people to complete their education in health care 
        
Proposition 30 will make a difference to many peoples life. It will decide if students stay longer in school. Or go home earl. Prop 30 decides if schools keep after school programs. For many students the after chool programs is to keep the busy. This programs helps a lot students away from street. Preventing them from getting involve in drugs and gangs. Most of the time both parents are working and their kid’s don’t have anyone to stay with and they become vulnerable to gangs and drugs. For other students this is the time when they get the help to do their homework. Other students use the programs because they offer sports and that’s what they enjoy doing, playing sports. This helps them have a better healthy life stile. Without the after school programs many students don’t have any where to go and they end up in the streets when they can easily get involve in gangs and drugs. There are chances that violence will increase in the streets. Other students will not have where to play sports and just stay home and do nothing.

Our schools have suffer a lot and we can’t let this continue to happen. We need to stop the cuts to make it possible for students to continue in higher education. By voting yes on prop 30, it will stop the increase of tuition and make it possible to afford to continue our education. Many young people will be stay in schools and away from the streets to avoid danger. The billions of dollars raise will help keep programs open that many students need.
