CaliforniaFunded schools would prioritize expanded learning access for eligible pupils
Schools receiving specified expanded learning funds would prioritize access for English learners, pupils eligible for meal assistance, and foster youth.
What it does
Schools receiving specified program funds would prioritize offering access to pupils who are English learners, qualify for free or reduced-price meals, or are foster youth. Schools must still offer access to all covered pupils.
Argument forUnduplicated pupils and their families could learn about programs and complete enrollment more easily when schools focus outreach and offer enrollment help.
Argument againstOther families may receive less focused outreach if schools direct more enrollment help to unduplicated pupils, though schools must still offer access to all covered pupils.
More detail
School districts and charter schools must prioritize offering access to unduplicated pupils. This applies to pupils in classroom-based kindergarten through grade 6 programs. Unduplicated pupils include English learners, pupils eligible for free or reduced-price meals, and foster youth. This priority applies to agencies receiving funds under the specified funding provisions. This requirement applies commencing with the 2023–24 school year.
