• Education in America is far from equal (dailytrojan.com) — Beverly Hills Unified is cited as an "excess advantage" district, spending over $35,000 per student—about $6,000 more than LAUSD—highlighting how local property wealth boosts resources for its schools. The article argues that such funding gaps across California and the nation leave poorer, often more diverse districts struggling, and urges renewed focus on K–12 equity, not just college-level reforms.
