Focusing on Proposition 98 funding for K–12 education, the budget assumes spending
of $46.5 billion (state and local funds) in 2005-06 and provides $49.1 billion in 2006-07.
On September 29, 2006, Governor Schwarzenegger signed SB 1133 (Chapter 751,
Statutes of 2006) to implement the settlement of the lawsuit CTA and O’Connell v.
Schwarzenegger, which will restore education funding for Proposition 98 shortfalls in
2004-05 and 2005-06. Totaling $3 billion, these funds will be targeted to low-performing
schools, beginning with $300 million in 2007-08 and $450 million each year thereafter
through 2013-14.
Chart 2 shows the trend in Proposition 98 funding per pupil in K–12 schools from
1995-96 through 2006-07. The chart shows that, under the Budget Act of 2006, schools
will receive Proposition 98 funds averaging $7,777 per pupil based on average daily
attendance (ADA) for 2005-06 and $8,244 in 2006-07. This is an increase of $467 per
ADA, or 6 percent above the revised 2005-06 level.
