State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O’Connell today released the results of a survey of local educational agencies (LEAs) to find out how state budget cuts to public education are affecting them.

O’Connell held a news conference in the Natomas Unified School District in Sacramento County where all eight elementary school libraries were shut down to close a budget gap.

Two more players from the Santa Clarita Valley were selected on the third and final day of the Major League Baseball draft. Matt Valaika, a Hart High graduate and senior at UC Santa Barbara, and Cal Vogelsang from College of Canyons were taken late in the draft.

The St. Louis Cardinals selected Valaika in the 34^th round. Valaika hit .301 with four home runs and 35 RBIs in his senior season at UC Santa Barbara.
