Did the state set aside funds solely for the schools to purchase textbooks for compliance with the Williams settlement?
A total of $138 million was allocated in 2004-05 to districts based on enrollment in schools in API Decile 1 and 2. These funds were restricted to the purchase of standards-aligned adopted textbooks, state-adopted for grades kindergarten through grade eight and locally adopted for grades nine through twelve, in reading/language arts, mathematics, science and history-social science for students in Decile 1 and 2 schools. This was a one-time appropriation. Top of Page Public Hearing and Sufficiency of Instructional Materials.
