POLL: Should San Juan Unified's Teachers Take More Furlough Days?

It's been said that tough times call for tough measures.

The ongoing recession, a weak housing market and high unemployment have forced cuts to California's schools. Officials have already forecast a $15.7 billion deficit for next year's state budget.

The financial doom and gloom has been impacting the San Juan Unified School District for months. Two weeks ago the district board and the San Juan Unified Teachers Union reached a two-year agreement, addressing the state's economic shortfalls that impact the district budget. The agreement would include  should Governor Jerry Brown's $6.9-billion tax hike fail to pass the vote.

Tough measures, indeed—but are they the right measures?

Tell us what you think by taking our poll. Do you agree with San Juan Unified teachers taking more furlough days this year? Do you think teachers should take even more furlough days to save more money?

Or do you feel the cuts should come from elsewhere and teachers shouldn't take furloughs at all?
