BILL NUMBER:  SB 193
  VETOED	DATE: 10/11/2009




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 193 without my signature.

This bill is premature, and therefore unnecessary at this time, since
the Long Beach Unified School District has not received a reduction
in its K-3 Class Size Reduction (CSR) program funding level.  I have
previously supported legislation that held districts harmless for
loss of CSR funding due to unexpected fires that have disrupted
operations at certain schools.  However, this bill sets a precedent
by providing a hold harmless provision of CSR funding prospectively.
In the event there are school closures during the 2009-10 through
2011-12 school years, legislation can be considered at that time.

For these reasons, I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
