Gov. Newsom Signs Largest Per Pupil Funding Package in State History!

The $123.9 billion package for K-12 education will expand broadband infrastructure across California and provide much needed support for student mental health services. The package is made up of 22 bills, and represents the largest step our state government has ever taken towards fully funding public education!

This much needed funding will address disparities created by the pandemic, and help ensure that ALL California students, regardless of geographic location or economic status, will be able to have the resources they need to thrive after a year of distance learning. Additionally, AB 191 will require every California student to complete a one semester course in ethnic studies, an important moment for racial justice in K-12 education.
