A group of government employees organized to deny children public school services.   See the explanation by the local school superintendent.

The California State Supreme Court has ruled that public education is a Fundamental Protected Right to be managed by the State rather by local governance.

"[M]anagement and control of the public schools [is] a matter of state[, not local,] care and supervision...." Butt v. State of California (1992) 4 Cal. 4Th 674, 693. citing Kennedy v. Miller (1893) 97 Cal. 429, 431.

The court ruled that public education must be basically equal for all children.

"In sum, the California Constitution guarantees 'basic' equality in public education, regardless of district residence." Butt v. State of California (1992)

However, the California Department of Education (CDE) continues to ignore the Ruling. In 2024, the CDE stated: "California is a Local Control State. This means that your local school district is governed and managed by your elected school board trustees. The Civic Center Act does not specifically authorize enforcement oversight by the California Department of Education or any other agency. Hence, when constituents request clarification on how much districts charge for the use of their facilities, the CDE must direct them to their local school board."

The State constitution states "The Governor shall see that the law is faithfully executed." Governor also ignores the court rulings.

Government employed elementary public school teachers earn far more than practicing Physicians, Optometrists and Engineers.  Government public school teachers work 184 days per year as compared to a standard 250 days per year for non-government employees.   See the details based on government records.

School Board members in the largest high school district in northern California (ESUHSD), a recipient of State and Federal funding, accept tens of thousands dollars in "campaign donations" from contractors and then award no-bid contracts to the gifters. 

There is no enforcement against the practice.  It appears that those responsible to enforce the law that prohibits such practice are in the same political party as the school board members.  Local school boards and City councils are stepping boards to higher level elected offices.

Read the details.

The largest school district in northern California (ESUHSD) denies parents and guardians to see their own children participate in public school events open to the public unless the parents/guardians pay a fee.  The amount of compensation paid to government employed school staff to collect the fee appears to far exceed the amounts collected.  Most importantly, however, parents are being denied to observe their children's public school activities because of their inability to pay.

It is believed that the collection of funds from parents/guardians by public schools violates the intent of State law.  Parents have been seen trying to observe their own children outside of gated events because they don't have enough to pay the public school.
