California cut K-12 education funding by $7.8 billion from 2007-08 to 2010-11, reducing per-student funding from $5,795 to $4,781. The Lake Crest Union School District saw its revenue decline by $4 million from 2011-12 to 2012-13 due to lower state funding, falling federal stimulus money, and reduced local revenues. The district projected a $2.3 million deficit for 2012-13 that would require staff cuts and increased class sizes unless it received a large gift from its educational foundation.
