Why does MBUSD receive so little funding?
• California funding for education is inadequate – 42nd in the country.
• We are a Revenue Limit district- due to Prop 13 and the portion of our funding that supported education in 1978, we do not keep excess property taxes that are dedicated to Education.
– K-8 20%
• Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) gives supplemental funding to schools with higher percentages of students who are English Language Learners, qualify for the Free/ Reduced Lunch Program and are Foster Youth. MBUSD has the highest unduplicated count in LA County, and we are 4th from the bottom in the state.
• We do not have a parcel tax.
• So our district relies on MBEF to supplement state funding

California is 42nd in Per-Pupil Funding50th in Student to Teacher and Student to Counselor Ratios
MBUSD is the only top ranked school district in California without a parcel tax, utility tax, or
both, to supplement state funding
Instead, our community and MBEF fill the gap
