    Key Takeaways

    • Allocates $21.5 million to rebuild Paradise Unified School District schools damaged by the 2018 Camp Fire.
    • Establishes a special funding provision specifically for Paradise schools due to unique disaster recovery needs.
    • Requires funds to count toward California's constitutional minimum school funding requirements.

    Summary

    Assembly Member Gallagher's proposal to allocate $21.5 million from California's General Fund aims to complete reconstruction of Paradise Unified School District facilities damaged during the 2018 Camp Fire. The funding would support ongoing recovery efforts in Paradise, where school infrastructure sustained significant damage during the devastating wildfire.

    The measure establishes a special statute specifically for Paradise Unified School District, with authors citing the unique circumstances of the community's recovery needs. The appropriated funds would count toward California's constitutional minimum funding requirements for school districts while providing dedicated resources for completing construction projects at fire-damaged school sites.

    The bill's findings note that Paradise's distinct recovery challenges necessitate a targeted approach rather than relying on general education funding statutes. This appropriation represents a direct response to outstanding reconstruction needs nearly seven years after the Camp Fire impacted the district's facilities.
