GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM RELEASES PROPOSED BUDGET FOR 2023-24 FISCAL YEAR
Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday unveiled his proposed budget for the 2023-24 fiscal year. Under the proposal, the overall state budget would be lower than in 2022-23, decreasing by about 3% to $297.7 billion. For the California Community Colleges, the Governor’s Budget proposes an additional $652.6 million cost-of-living adjustment in Proposition 98 dollars for the general fund and additional ongoing resources of approximately $770 million to our system appropriations and categorical programs, as compared to the 2022 Budget Act.
Interim Chancellor Daisy Gonzales, PhD issued the following statement on Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proposed budget for the 2023-24 fiscal year:
"The governor’s proposed budget protects education in a time of economic uncertainty. The proposal builds on California community colleges’ strengths with added resources for career training, building out partnerships that connect traditionally underrepresented high school students to college opportunities by concurrently attending community colleges and a continued commitment to help colleges attract and retain students. We look forward to working with Gov. Newsom and legislative leaders during the upcoming budget process to address barriers to student success, make progress towards the higher education goals established in the Roadmap for the Future and ensure California‘s equitable recovery.”
