Lawyers representing a group of students and administrators are saying their case against California for recent “illegal budget changes” is the most important educational civil rights case since Brown v. Board of Education<\/em>. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on schools and the education system, which is now being further mishandled by state officials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since school districts have been forced to comply with state rules on safety and closures, education has moved largely online. Forced online formats have caused a decrease in educational quality, leading many families to relocate their students to schools that are better prepared to support them in such a time of need.<\/span><\/p>\n

Successful school districts, charter schools, and schools that offer personalized learning programs are excelling in their teaching capabilities and attendance since the pandemic has affected the education system. However, with two Democratic bills, SB 98 and AB 77, those schools fulfilling students’ needs will lose funding from the state, while failing school systems benefit from their losses.<\/span><\/p>\n

California passed a bill earlier this month blocking funding from following children to charter schools<\/p>\n

One school had to put 500 already-admitted students back on the waitlist<\/p>\n

Families are now suing the state.<\/p>\n
