California Sued Over Bond Program
California is facing a lawsuit over its bond program, which allegedly sends more money to fix facilities in wealthy school districts.
Property-poor school districts claim that the state's building aid formula favors wealthy districts, while failing to help them upgrade rundown school facilities.
The state's reliance on local property taxes in districts with vastly different abilities to finance school facility renovations
- Wealthy districts have modern science labs, shaded outdoor spaces, and spacious auditoriums.
- Property-poor districts disproportionately enroll low-income students, English learners, and Black, Hispanic, and Native American students.
A public-interest law firm filed the lawsuit, charging that the program perpetuates vast inequalities for students in low-wealth communities.
