Teachers Sue Over $6B School Funding Cut | San Jose News

California teachers are suing state leaders over $6 billion in withheld school funding, arguing it violates the state constitution and harms students through reduced resources, larger classes, and staff shortages. The lawsuit targets Governor Newsom’s budget moves, seeking to recover $1.9 billion for the 2024-25 school year and another $3.9 billion from a revised budget — while similar legal actions by school boards continue. Though Newsom claims deferrals are needed for fiscal stability, educators say it’s unconstitutional and sets a dangerous precedent that could erode education funding for years.
