Equitable State Funding for School Facilities. Policy Brief
Severance, Mary
Public Policy Institute of California
California's K-12 school facilities require significant new and ongoing investments to address aging infrastructure, changes in educational programs, and federal and state regulations. Funding for facilities comes mostly from local sources and depends on local property wealth. The state provides some funding through the School Facility Program (SFP), but many have noted that the SFP's local matching-funds requirement and first-come, first-served approach privilege wealthier districts with greater administrative capacity. This brief highlights selected findings from the report, "Equitable State Funding for School Facilities: Assessing California's School Facility Program," which examines historical trends in SFP funding and looks at differences in SFP funding across districts and student demographics. This policy brief looks at: (1) How has SFP funding been distributed across the state?; and (2) How can California improve the equity and efficiency of state facilities funding?
