For decades, California's 50% Law has ensured that community colleges prioritize classroom instruction by requiring districts to spend at least half of their unrestricted general funds on instructional costs. AB 2121 would create a new exception to that longstanding safeguard by excluding certain local funds used to replace lost federal grants from the calculation. While intended to address funding challenges, carving out exceptions to the 50% Law sets a dangerous precedent that could weaken one of California's strongest protections for instructional funding.
Take action today. Tell your legislators to oppose AB 2121 and protect the integrity of the 50% Law.
