Speaking to parents, students and teachers at the San Elijo School, he outlined his plan to limit classroom size to 20.
"My proposal is to build 40,000 new classrooms, to modernize -- which is also very important -- 140,000 classrooms," Schwarzenegger said.Schwarzenegger's budget proposal is $3.8 billion larger than last year's spending plan. It includes an extra $100 million for improving facilities at charter schools, he said.
