We need a new State School Bond on the 2020 State Ballot.
Already, the Proposition 51 new construction matching funds ($3.0 billion) are fully committed for
applications already filed.
The Proposition 51 modernization funds ($3.0 billion) are expected to be fully committed by late
Spring 2019.
The Proposition 51 charter school funds ($500 million) are committed and the Proposition 51 Career
Technical Education funds ($500 million) are expected to be committed fully by the end of 2019.
We believe there needs to be a more consistent process for long-term funding of state participation in the
School Facility Program. We believe we should establish a long-term, consistent, guaranteed funding
source that provides more predictability for the State and local school districts. This program could be
designed to more easily address changing school facility needs, such as the current need for
enhanced school safety.
We also believe there needs to be an ongoing restricted, stable funding source for school district
maintenance, repair and minor capital outlay. This needs to be done through new local school revenues.
With your help we will have a coalition that convinces the state to put a new State School Bond on the
2020 ballot and a campaign to pass that State School Bond and create a program that provides every
student and teacher a clean, safe, quality classroom.
