california budget: bad news for schools
PTA parent advocacy needed now.
Despite efforts by Governor Newsom to minimize cuts to education and children's services, the revised May California budget proposal leaves schools and other programs facing significant cuts.
The largest cut to K-12 funding is a 10 percent reduction to the Local Control Funding Formula ($6.5 billion in 2020-21).
The pandemic has overwhelmed the state's capacity to adequately support the education, health, and welfare of California's children.
