Statewide WSF! Good idea, bad Google page rank...
Hat tip to blogger extrodinaire TMAO for leaving a comment here alerting me to AB 586.
Never heard of AB 586? You're not alone. Apparently none of the robots at Google have either. Searching Google News yields little or nothing. Searching their web index gives little more. This one appears to be a sleeper. But go ahead and read the text. It is short and to the point. Reform the way money is allocated to schools. Weight the funding based on student needs. What a concept. Weighted Student Formula funding at the state level.
As TMAO notes in his post, Sacramento Gets One Right (so far)

This is about more than money. Money can be misappropriated, misspent, misapplied. No, what gets me really excited about this bill is the essential principle at its core, the formal, legislative recognition that getting better results for low-income, high-need kids requires something different and something more.Yes, this bill traces its roots back to the Getting Down to Facts effort. Sounds like one of those reforms that should move forward, even in this year's harsh budget climate.
