| Short Description: | California has become a landscape of educational contrasts. Stepping through the doors of a school in an impoverished
community, you find dozens of students packed together into classrooms without the support services or additional
instructional time they need to succeed. A zip code away, in a neighboring district, you can find students with access to a multitude of educational supports and
enrichment programs. |
| Annotation: | California has become a landscape of educational contrasts. Stepping through the doors of a school in an impoverished
community, you find dozens of students packed together into classrooms without the support services or additional
instructional time they need to succeed. A zip code away, in a neighboring district, you can find students with access to a multitude of educational supports and
enrichment programs. This cruel divide is the result of an education funding system that is fundamentally unfair. Not only has California failed to adequately fund its schools, our state has also failed to equitably allocate existing education funding. |
