California lawmakers boost education funding in budget ahead of talks with Newsom

Legislature approves a record $127B for schools and community colleges for 2026-27, backed by higher revenue forecasts and including a $2B increase for TK-12 under Prop 98, a shift of preschool funding into Prop 98, a $5B one-time block grant, and add-ons for school kitchens, career/technical education, stipends for student teachers, and support for refugees and homeless students. The budget also withholds $3.9B in Prop 98 funding pending a repayment timeline, a move education groups oppose, as two weeks of negotiations begin.

Newsom's revised budget slashes funding for education and faces $31.5B deficit.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has revised funding for TK-12 and community colleges downward by $2 billion for the coming fiscal year due to a $31 billion shortfall in the general fund. The budget includes $106.8 billion for school districts and community colleges through Proposition 98, nearly $4 billion less than two years ago. However, the University of California and California State University will receive 5% bumps to their base funding. Newsom also committed to funding the full 8.2% cost of living adjustment. The budget includes proposals for dyslexia screening, an equity multiplier, and child care.
