On Thursday, February 2, 2012, the California Legislature
approved SB 81, which restores $248 million for home-to-school transportation
funding. The bill will now be sent to
Governor Brown for his signature.
The budget cut will no longer be targeted at transportation,
which opponents argued had a disparate impact on rural and urban students who
rely heavily on busing students.
Instead, the cut will be a general-purpose reduction that affects all
school districts evenly. Whereas some
rural districts were poised to lose more than $1,000 per student due to the
transportation cut, now all districts will lose about $42 per student under SB
81. Although SB 81 does not eliminate
the budget cuts to education, it more equitable spreads the cuts across all
school districts.
