First question: Please write a paragraph explaining California's budget restraints and its effects on community college funding.

California's has had budget restraints that have made it increasingly difficult for colleges to meet their missions and, consequently for many Californians to obtain the education and skills they needto succeed in the current economic environment. Student enrollment rates in California’s community colleges have dropped to a 20-year low in the wake of unprecedented cuts in state funding.
