Scout Money Scotched

Sorry about that, Scout

After all the efforts of this blog to supplement the online UC Scout program (scroll down for the past few days), which the governor had proposed extra money for, the legislature is not supportive:

Reject May Revise proposal to provide $4 million one-time General Fund for the UC Scout program. Adopt budget bill language redirecting this one-time funding, and augmenting UC by $6 million ongoing General Fund, to support direct student support programs within the Student Academic Preparation and Educational Partnerships program.*
