SCHOOL FUNDING REFORM. A major victory in California’s new budget is a new school funding plan. Almost all districts will have their state funding restored after years of budget cuts, and schools will get more money to be spent on at-risk children and English-learners.

How will this affect or benefit Latino school children?
