The latest round of state budget cuts will cost Pasadena Unified schools more than $1.8 million this year and set smaller local school districts back tens of thousands of dollars.
Gov. Jerry Brown announced last week that a projected $2.2 billion shortfall in state revenue would force Sacramento to reduce attendance-based funding for schools and slash reimbursements for student transportation expenses.
South Pasadena and San Marino schools are mostly spared the pain of $248 million in statewide cuts to transportation funding, but the shift hits Pasadena particularly hard.
