Quality Education Investment Act (QEIA)

Senate Bill 1133 established the Quality Education Investment Act (QEIA) of 2006 for the purpose of implementing the Proposition 98 settlement agreement resulting from CTA, et al. v. Schwarzenegger, et al. The Act provides $3 billion over a seven-year period to 488 low-performing schools in California, including two elementary schools in Sonoma County. These schools, ranked in the lowest two deciles of the state’s 2005 Academic Performance Index, have high percentages of low-income, minority, and English-learner students.

QEIA funds are available to assist in closing the achievement gap by reducing class size, improving teacher and principal training, and adding counselors at the high school level.
