Funding for Paradise Schools and Curriculum Review

This law provides $21,500,000 to the Paradise Unified School District to finish rebuilding schools damaged by fire and requires officials to consider adding lessons about estate planning and trusts in future curriculum updates.

What This Bill Does

  • Appropriates $21,500,000 from the General Fund for school construction in the Paradise Unified School District.
  • Requires funds be used specifically to complete building repairs after the 2018 Camp Fire.
  • States that this money counts toward minimum funding rules set by Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution.
  • Declares that a special law is needed just for the Paradise Unified School District.
  • Requires the Instructional Quality Commission to consider adding content on estate planning and trusts when revising the history-social science curriculum framework after January 1, 2026.

Who It Names or Affects

  • Students in kindergarten through grade 12 across California regarding potential future curriculum changes

Limits and Unknowns
