A much better policy would be to raise the floor and not pay attention to equality of outcome.

If the worst school in 2036 California is better than the average school in 2026, then that's an obvious win.

(That goal is completely achievable -- only about a third of California students are grade-level proficient right now.)

Raising the floor is an equality of outcome. It is arguably equality of oppprtunity too, but only when ignoring intergenerational wealth as a factor. Your kids affordíng school is your outcome, their oppprtúnity.
