California’s EducationFunding Crisis

Per-pupil spending in California’s schools has dropped nearly every year since the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, and is currently well below the national average.

Current Issues?

Looming Cuts to California’sK-12 Education in 2009

The Governor's latest budget proposal would cut an additional $7.5 billion to public schools over the next eighteen months. 

When combined with cuts already made to our schools in the current year and proposed accounting maneuvers to delay other payments owed to schools, the total cuts are nearly $11 billion, not including other cuts to vital children's services.

Absent resolution on a state budget by the legislature, this number could increase.

Evidence of a Weak Economy

Increased visits to school nurse’s office

Increased applications for Free or Reduced Lunch Program

Students returning from private schools

Loss of Funding CouldResult In…

Increased class sizes

Reduction in instructional materials

Reduction in staff development

Reduction in nursing, library, counseling, and other support services

Reduction in administrative services

Inability to provide competitive salary and benefits to employees

Local FundingMakes a Difference!

Unified

It will take each one of us, pulling together, to make it through the financial crisis ahead.
