(D) Eight thousand two hundred eighty-nine dollars ($8,289) Fourteen thousand two hundred eighty-nine dollars ($14,289) for average daily attendance in grades 9 to 12, inclusive.
The State of California has withheld about $5,000.00 per pupil per year since 2007-08 from CUSD alone.
50,000 students X $5,000 per student = $250,000,000.00 per year X 8 Years = $2.5 Billion Dollars since 2007-08

California's Road to Recovery was paved at the expense of the future of children who happen to live in wealthy suburban school districts.
California owes CUSD $2.5 billion dollars. They have the money. Stop wasting our tax money on the Bullet Train- new programs and entitlements for people who are not legally in this country, and to sue the Federal Government to protect people who have entered this country illegally. Our kids Deserve Better!
