Bill would establish an education endowment using money from the state’s general fund to close gaps in funding among school districts.

The proposed bill comes at a pivotal moment in education in California .

Districts across the Bay Area face budget deficits ranging from $20 million to $113 million and have turned to school closures and layoffs to plug holes.

Cortese ’s bill is slated to head to the Senate Education Committee on Wednesday .

Cortese acknowledged that any bill with an “appropriation tag” will likely face hurdles in the state legislature.

The California Teachers Association also said it has not yet taken a stance on the bill.
