California Community School Partnership Program, Fiscal Year 2026-27

Funding Description

The California Community Schools Partnership Act, established as part of the Budget Act of 2021, is a key initiative of California's historic whole-child transformation of public schools built on the state board-adopted California Community Schools Framework. This model of education incorporates state investments in universal free school meals, universal transitional kindergarten, before and after school learning, career and college readiness, and investments in teacher training, coaching, recruitment, and retention, resulting in a cohesive program of instructional quality and removing barriers to learning, and collaborative leadership.
