State Education Dept Seeks Big School Funding Boost
The California Department of Education released a two year study calling for a $61 million price tag to boost school funding. Governor Brown’s 1961 62 budget adds $41 million, with the department proposing $15 more per elementary pupil $261 more per high school student and $86 more per junior college student. A countywide financing plan would shift $21 million from wealthy districts and raise the state subsidy to $779 million. The plan aims to reduce disparities by district wealth, expand school years and summer programs, and increase support for handicapped children.
