The CFT is an active participant in the state budget process
because public school and community college districts receive
two-thirds of their funding from the state, and decisions made by
state legislators set the stage for those made by district
governing boards.
Our CFT Research Department analyzes the state budget and the
impact it will have on education, from early childhood to
university. Our Legislative Updates and Research Briefs span
the timeline of budget process, from
the governor’s January proposals to the adopted and signed
budget.
