AB1267 did 1977?

• A. Increased state aid to low-wealth districts and constrained local property taxes
• B. Decreased state aid to low-wealth districts
• C. Expanded local property tax levy
• D. Created a statewide education evaluation system

Answer: (A)

AB 1267 was a California school finance reform aimed at reducing funding disparities by shifting some support from local wealth to state aid for poorer districts, while also limiting how much local property taxes could be used for education. It increased state aid to districts with low property wealth, helping them provide similar services despite having fewer local tax dollars, and it constrained local property tax funding to prevent wealthier districts from pulling away in funding. This combination best fits the described impact: more state support for low-wealth districts and tighter control over local tax funding. The other options don’t match this approach—decreasing state aid would hurt equity, expanding local property taxes would contradict the constraint, and creating a statewide evaluation system is about accountability, not funding.
