Hi Christine,

I am not a Californian but wasn't the decision by the state's courts to equalize school spending a big reason for any decline in spending?

I remember that since that decision the districts that had been spending more than average have gotten around that decision by making everything optional, i.e., parents pay for the extras or volunteer because the schools "can't" spend the money themselves. The poorer districts have not benfitted.

From what I have read, that decision has had a bigger impact on school spending than Prop 13. The law of unintended consequences.
