Support a shift in California's school funding model from attendance-based to enrollment-based. Currently, LBUSD and other districts across the state are losing millions of dollars in essential funding because California remains one of only six states that funds schools based on daily attendance rather than total enrollment. This system penalizes districts for student absences that are often beyond their control, while the costs of providing staff, facilities, and resources remain constant regardless of how many students are present on a given day.
We need to ensure our schools have stable, predictable funding to properly serve every student enrolled. I ask that you take action to change school funding to be based on enrollment. Please scan the QR code above to locate your CA legislative representative. Call, email and demand this critical change!
