California Education Budget Explained

In this episode, we break down California’s 2026 May Revision budget update and talk about what education funding changes can mean for families, schools, and homeschoolers. Education budgets impact more than most people realize — from classroom resources and staffing to student programs and overall school environments. Even homeschool families are affected by the larger education system around them. I also share why homeschooling gives families flexibility to create learning experiences that work for their children while still meeting educational standards. 🌟 Plus, this episode introduces a brand-new segment: Each week, I’ll be giving a positive shoutout to a public school doing great work for students and families because I believe it’s important to recognize educators and schools making a difference in their communities.
