YOU MAKE GREAT SCHOOLS HAPPENCalifornia does not fully cover the cost of the education our schools deliver. In 2018-19, our schools will receive an average of $7,861 per student in state and federal funding which is well below the national average of $11,934. Local property taxes only contribute an additional $333 per student. The $1.2 million donated to WCEF this year will help pay for critical salaries and programs not provided by the State or your property taxes.
