 Go Back  California Department of Education Long-term improvements to the K-12 finance system Recommend making lasting improvements to the state's K-12 finance system. Given the flexibility package adopted in 2009 is not especially responsive to students' needs and with flexibility provisions set to sunset in 2013-14, we recommend the state begin consolidating all K-12 funding into revenue limits and a few block grants. In general, the state should minimize the number of block grants in order to protect services for at-risk students while maximizing flexibility for districts. 2-08-11
