Why we need Proposition 2

Students who receive instruction in buildings with good environmental conditions can earn test scores that are 5 to 17 percent higher than scores for students in substandard buildings.

Too many of our local schools lack adequate safety and security protections. Prop 2 will make students safer by funding door locks, emergency and security systems, fire alarms, smoke detectors, and more.

Prop 2 will help more students get job training, technical knowledge and specialized skills they need by building career technical and vocational education classrooms, labs and learning technology.
