Williams Act
Williams Act
The Williams Act, officially known as the Williams Settlement, is a California law established to ensure that all students have access to adequate educational facilities and resources. Enacted in 2004, it addresses the needs of students in schools that are considered "high-needs," particularly those in low-income areas. The act mandates that schools provide essential materials, including textbooks, instructional materials, and safe and clean facilities. It also requires school districts to conduct regular assessments and report on their compliance with these standards, ultimately aiming to close the equity gap in education and ensure that every student has the tools necessary for academic success.
