2009-10 Funding

In fall 2008, the nation faced a historic economic crisis. No state government in the country was as severely shaken as California, where years of budget troubles preceded the national crisis.

The situation worsened throughout 2009, and state leaders repeatedly acted to balance the state budget. And because K–12 education represents the single largest state expenditure here, California’s public schools were greatly affected. Policymakers repeatedly cut funding for K–12 schools as part of their overall budget solution, affecting funding for both 2008–09 and 2009–10.

The resources below can help you makes sense of the funding California schools received for the 2009-10 school year.
