Lead with Equity: What California's Leaders Must Do Next to Advance Student Learning during COVID-19
Hough, Heather; O'Day, Jennifer; Hahnel, Carrie; Ramanathan, Arun; Edley, Christopher, Jr.; Echaveste, Maria – Policy Analysis for California Education, PACE, 2020
On July 17th, 2020, Governor Newsom announced that all K-12 schools in California counties with rising COVID-19 infections would be required to teach remotely. Without a strong focus on improving the quality of remote education at scale, students could lose up to a year's worth of learning, and as many as 1.1 million students could fail to…

Mays, Alex; O'Rourke, Lena – Healthy Schools Campaign, 2021
When the novel coronavirus forced school buildings to close, causing a massive disruption in the delivery of these services, it exposed the extent to which schools function as an essential component of a comprehensive health system, particularly for children in low-income communities. In response to the closures, state and federal decision-makers…

Baker, Bruce D.; Di Carlo, Matthew; Green, Preston C., III – Albert Shanker Institute, 2022
It is difficult to overstate the importance of segregation for race- and ethnicity-based school funding disparities in the United States.

Racial and ethnic disparities in wealth accumulation are perpetuated over generations, ensuring persistent segregation even…

Edwards, Virginia B., Ed. – Education Week, 2016
For the past decade and a half, the fight to improve America's schools has been fought largely on two fronts: academic standards as one battleground, and accountability the other, with the issue of mandatory testing adding heat to a very public--and increasingly politicized--debate. The questions for policymakers and educators are as direct as…

Moore, Colleen; Grubb, Brock; Esch, Camille – Education Insights Center, 2016

But California's current education landscape, with its shift from state to local control of funding and accountability in the K-12 system, its massive…

The Governor, members of the legislature and other key stakeholders have identified concerns about the State of California's approach to funding K-12 school facilities, but they have not yet formulated a consensus going forward on the state role and responsibilities for school district facilities.

Vincent, Jeffrey M.; Gross, Liz S. – Center for Cities & Schools, 2015
K-12 public school facilities need regular investment to ensure student health and safety and support educational programming.

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and the Local Control Funding Formula are introducing major changes to California's K-12 system.

Melnick, Hanna; Cook-Harvey, Channa M.; Darling-Hammond, Linda – Learning Policy Institute, 2017
