April 29, 2022 – John Affeldt, managing attorney with Public Advocates, was quoted in EdSource in a story about California giving schools billions of dollars more in unrestricted funding.
“We’re not ready to jump on any bill yet. We want to see some increase to the base, but two and a half times federal poverty level seems high and could dilute the impact on funding equity,” said John Affeldt, managing attorney for the nonprofit law firm Public Advocates, and a spokesperson for the LCFF Equity Coalition, representing a dozen student advocacy and civil rights organizations.
