A common misconception of public schools is that they are free when in fact providing excellent education comes at quite a high cost. When most of us were children, property taxes and other federal funding were more than adequate to provide the required resources to fund schools. In 1978, Proposition 13 overhauled the way California property taxes were assessed and dramatically lowered the amount of money raised for public school education in California. Over the past 30 years California has moved from being the leader in U.S. public education standards to 35th in the nation in per pupil spending. Our District’s funding sources are insufficient to provide the educational excellence that our children deserve.

We are moving forward with the challenge to fill the gaps with public funding. Learn more about fundraising efforts, make a donation online or ways you can volunteer.
