While Gov Brown is promoting Proposition 30 to raise taxes to purportedly keep our California schools afloat, the below chart prepared by the School Services of California - called the alligator chart for its gaping jaws - shows a drop in ADA funding with or without the passing of the Proposition.
The chart shows that the average unified district should receive $6,748
per student this year in its revenue limit allocation – unrestricted
money that districts can use as they choose to keep the lights on and
pay teachers. Instead, districts will receive 22.4 percent less, $5,245 –
but only if the governor’s tax initiative,
Proposition 30, raising the sales tax and income tax on the wealthy, passes.
The Copper Gazette is awaiting a response from the CCOE regarding the potential effects of the passing or failure of Prop 30 to schools in Calaveras County.
