This paper discusses the relationships between fiscal stress placed on public schools in California after the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, and changes observed in urban high school curricula in the past five years. The general ties between finance and curriculum are outlined, the specific influence of the tax limitation measure on California school finance is suggested, and an empirical assessment of curriculum changes in the state's "Big Eight" school districts is reported. Secondary curriculum superintendents and a select sample of teachers, counselors, and parents in each district were interviewed for this research. The principal findings include nearly universal perceptions of reductions in course offerings in similar areas across all study districts and a common understanding of intimate ties between financial pressures and these changes
