PPIC Statewide Survey: Californians and Education

Some findings of the current survey:

• A strong majority of Californians favor Governor Brown’s K-12 funding proposal, which would direct extra money to lower-income and English Learner students.
• Most Californians believe that targeting funds in this way will improve the academic achievement of disadvantaged students.
• An overwhelming majority also favor giving local school districts more flexibility over how state money is spent.
