The Los Angeles Unified School District's $8 billion budget pays for more than 25,000 teachers and serves 650,000 students.
Superintendent Ramon Cortines and the school board are designating a $820 million increase in funding covering the 2015-2016 school year largely for teacher raises, maintenance, instructional materials, and other overdue operational costs deferred during the recession.
As part of Gov. Jerry Brown’s formula for local education, L.A. Unified received more than $1 billion to serve low-income students, foster youth and English learners. Advocates contend little is being invested in new and improved services for these students while the new cash flows to general operations.
This data shows the priorities of Cortines and the board for the next school year. Each line represents a major spending group – such as preschool, teacher costs and cafeteria funds – alongside its percent change from last school year. Funding is represented in millions of dollars. For items that were not funded during the previous school year, we listed the percent change as 0.0%.
