Panel rejects Brown school bill in dispute over reforms

SACRAMENTO AP reports a Senate Education Committee vote scuttled the Brown school finance measure while approving a trial bill that drops the money provisions and preserves reform topics such as State School Superintendent Wilson Riles Early Childhood Education. The panel set a two house conference to resolve differences before the June recess, with districts urging a quick agreement to fund school budgets. Brown’s plan would spend 339 million next year and 4.6 billion over five years, and would require wealthier districts to share tax revenue with poorer ones, a change tied to the Serrano decision. Critics question ECE’s scope and effectiveness, even as supporters push to keep reform provisions linked to funding.
