Proposed funding results for fiscal year 2025-26.
The Equity Leads were established in 2023 under Senate Bill 114, Section 79 (Chapter 48 of the Statutes of 2023) as part of California Statewide System of Support as a key lead initiative, with a $2 million annual investment. The Equity Leads will partner with local educational agencies to identify barriers and opportunities and implement actions and services to meet the identified needs of all pupils, including by addressing racial disparities in opportunities and academic outcomes. Additionally, Equity Leads will identify existing resources (including support for educator preparation, recruitment, retention, and professional development) and monitor the impact of the implementation of local control and accountability plan goals. Equity Leads will prioritize support to schools receiving Equity Multiplier Funding. This is a multi-year grant (five years) beginning July 1, 2024 and ending June 30, 2029. This is Year 2 of the Equity Leads Grant and the 2025-26 funding to be allocated will total $1,500,000 from the two-million-dollar annual investment. See tables below for funding details.
