California Code
ARTICLE 1 - General Provisions
Section 54000.

54000. It is the intent of the Legislature to provide quality educational opportunities for all children in the public schools. The Legislature recognizes that a wide variety of factors such as low family income, pupil transiency rates, and large numbers of homes where a primary language other than English is spoken have a direct impact on a child’s success in school and personal development, and require that different levels of financial assistance be provided districts in order to assure a quality level of education for all pupils.
