Calif. School Boards Seek More Money

FRESNO, Calif. (KMJ) — The California School Boards Association is asking a judge to mandate changes to the June state budget, which would provide more money for education.

The association argues that the budget improperly included additional spending on childcare, within the voter-approved constitutional guarantee for K-12 and community colleges.

The lawsuit says it’s not about childcare, but the proper interpretation of the ballot measure.

The adjustment sought would boost school funding by $150 million to $180 million.
