If California supported schools simply at the national average, funding would increase by $1,961 per student. For a classroom of 25 children, that’s an additional $49,000, for a school of 500 students, it’s nearly a million extra dollars annually!

“What we really need is leadership from the state,” veteran education lobbyist Kevin Gordon said. “They need to respond to the teachers and deal with this statewide instead of letting there be a shouting match at the local level.”
Teachers have been trying to wrap their heads around Gov. Newsom’s messaging about taking the virus seriously while also pushing for schools to reopen. What if teachers refuse to return in the fall?
