California School Funding Model

The California School Funding Model allocates funds to K-12 schools primarily based on student attendance and specific student needs. It combines local property taxes with state funds, ensuring more resources for students with higher needs, such as English learners or students from low-income families. The model aims to provide equitable funding across districts by adjusting allocations according to these factors, fostering fair educational opportunities regardless of local wealth. Overall, it seeks to balance local contributions with state support to ensure all students receive adequate resources for quality education.
