K thru 12 Education

California's school districts, charter schools and county offices of education provide instruction and a variety of programs and support services for pre-Kindergarten through grade twelve (K-12) students. These programs are designed to prepare students with the skills necessary to pursue higher education, obtain fulfilling employment, achieve career goals and develop as productive citizens. Programs and services provided to more than six million students annually include standards-based instruction, special education, English learner support, career preparatory programs, child care and development, remedial instruction and adult education.

The Budget Act includes $41.9 billion General Fund in funding for K-12 education and community colleges to fund the minimum Proposition 98 Guarantee in 2008-09. Total Proposition 98 funding for K-14 education programs will increase year over year by $1.5 billion.
