In this episode, I interviewed a community organizer and a member of the Oakland Unified School Board to learn more about the Local Control Funding Formula in California.
In this episode of How to Change the World, we talk about the new local control funding formula that California implemented in 2013 that provides more equitable funding to k-12 public schools and allows for more community involvement in how those dollars are spent. Guests on this episode are Geordee from Californians for Justice, a Bay Area non profit advocacy organization that advocates for public education change, and Shanthi Gonzalez, who is on Oakland Unified School District’s school board.
