Yes on Prop 2 Californians for Quality Schools

Yes on Prop 2

Research on school building conditions and student outcomes finds a consistent relationship between poor facilities and poor performance by students. More than 85% of the classrooms in California are more than 25 years old, 30% are between 50 to 70 years old, and about 10% of are 70 years old or older.

We Need Quality Public Schools Now!

Research on school building conditions and student outcomes finds a consistent relationship between poor facilities and poor performance by students. School facilities that are clean, in good repair, and designed to support high academic standards are more likely to support higher student achievement, regardless of student socioeconomic status. 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.More than 85 percent of the classrooms in California are more than 25 years old, 30 percent of the classrooms are between 50 to 70 years old, and about 10 percent of the classrooms are 70 years old or olderMany public schools and community colleges throughout California are outdated and need repairs and upgrades to meet basic health and safety standards, prepare students for college and 21st Century careers, and retain and attract quality teachers. Proposition 2 will meet those needs and is guided by strict taxpayer accountability protections so funds are spent as promised with local control.

Students Achieve More in Safe, Clean Schools

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

Many schools were built over 70 years ago and 38% of children attend schools that don’t meet minimum standards where they are exposed to dangers like asbestos, mold, unsafe drinking water, and extreme heat.Prop 2 will make the most urgent repairs and upgrades in our local public schools by authorizing a $10 billion investment – without raising any taxes or fees – to make sure our students are safe and ready to learn.<h3>Haven’t we passed enough school bonds in recent years? </h3>All funding from previously authorized school bonds have been expended, and the project backlog to fix broken down public schools is long and growing.Many schools were built over 70 years ago, are unsafe and face serious structural challenges. Prop 2 will help make essential updates to schools – to fix leaking roofs, malfunctioning bathrooms, and to remove or replace asbestos, mold, lead paint and lead pipes.Prop 2 also contains strict accountability provisions, public disclosure, and independent audits to ensure our schools actually get fixed.<h3>Aren’t voters being asked to decide too much for school facilities, with both Prop 2 and dozens (hundreds?) of local school bonds on ballots across the state this November?</h3>Prop 2 will match local bond dollars, allowing that local funding to go farther. Without the necessary revenue from Prop 2, local communities would be on the hook to pay for school updates that are in dire need of immediate fixing. This increases Sacramento’s share of funding these needed repairs.<h3>What is the difference between Prop 13 that narrowly failed in 2020 to today’s Prop 2? </h3>Prop 2 focuses on providing funding for K-12 and community colleges and does not include a change to local bonds, it only helps to match funding from local school bonds. Prop 2 is also supported by nearly every school district, the California Democratic and Republican parties and dozens of organizations from all corners of the state.Prop 2 also contains strict accountability provisions, public disclosure, and independent audits to ensure our schools actually get fixed.<h3>Will Prop 2 raise my taxes? </h3>Prop 2 does not increase state or local taxes. The measure will use exiting general fund revenues to make principal and interest payments on the bonds, ensuring that the state prioritizes funding for vital school construction projects<h3>Prop 2 does not adequately address the growing inequality with public school funding, with too many resources going directly to wealthy school districts that are already flush with resources.</h3>Prop 2 will do the greatest good for the most students across California and all school districts are able to participate in the School Facilities Program. In reality, Prop 2 is the result of bi partisan legislative negotiations that solved for inequitable funding for disadvantaged and low-well school districts. Even better, the measure provides technical assistance to small, mostly rural school districts and those who have not previously accessed the program.Prop 2 actually increases funding for disadvantaged and low-wealth school districts, and provides technical assistance to small school districts and those who have not previously accessed the state program.Prop. 2 includes new protections for small school districts, to ensure they are able to access the program on their own timeline. It reserves 10% of new construction and modernization funds for small schools.<h4>Download a <a href="/files/7aa2e333-6865-4f0f-b7c9-30d18a8b7383/Prop_2_FAQ-e038.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">PDF here</a>.</h4>

The Latest on Prop 2

Equality California Endorses Proposition 2&nbsp;Prop 2 will help make essential updates to schools, providing safer learning environmentsSacramento, CA - Equality California is the most recent statewide organization to join a growing number of groups across the state in support of Proposition 2. The measure&nbsp; will make the most urgent repairs and upgrades in our local public schools by authorizing a $10 billion investment – without raising any taxes or fees – to make sure our students are safe and ready to learn. “LGTBQ+ students already face added hardships attending school, and research has proven that when learning environments foster safe and emotionally stable conditions, students do better,” said Tony Hoang, Executive Director, Equality California. “Prop 2 will provide the necessary updates and infrastructure repairs to ensure that more kids have access to safe drinking water, better air filtration, upgraded classrooms and labs and that we remove the harmful mold and lead paint our students have been exposed to for far too long. These updates will in turn give every student the learning environment they need and deserve.”&nbsp;In addition to providing essential upgrades for public schools, Prop 2 contains strict accountability provisions, public disclosure, and independent audits to ensure California schools are actually getting fixed.&nbsp; The measure prevents politicians from redirecting this funding and includes protections that keep local control and ensure funding from the measure is used as voters intend.&nbsp;Specifically, Prop 2 will Fund:<ul><li>$4 billion for the upgrade and repair of local public schools</li><li>3.3 billion for new construction of public-school facilities</li><li>$600 million for public charter school facilities</li><li>$600 million for career technical education classrooms and job training centers</li><li>$1.5 billion for local community colleges </li></ul>About Proposition 2&nbsp;Proposition 2 <a href="https://www.yesprop2ca.com/coalition" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">is a broad and diverse coalition</a> of teachers, school nurses, school administrators, social justice organizations, school districts along with the California Democratic and Republican Parties.&nbsp;About Equality California&nbsp;Equality California is the nation’s largest statewide LGBTQ+ civil rights organization.

LAist: Heat in classrooms -Hotter days makes it harder for kids to learns

Prop 2 will help make the most urgent repairs and upgrades needed to battle extreme heatSacramento, CA - California students are back in the classroom this week, just as&nbsp; a massive heat wave threatens to disrupt the school year.For too long, California’s local public schools have gone without essential repairs and upgrades and students suffer the consequences.

With temperatures expected to soar in the 100s across Southern California, and hotter Septembers on the horizon, the time to act is now.”&nbsp;Recent data from <a href="https://www.climatecentral.org/climate-matters/cooling-schools-in-hotter-climate?utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=newsletter_axioslocal_sanfrancisco&amp;stream=top" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Climate Central</a> states that, “Keeping schools cool is a growing challenge as our climate warms and many places experience hotter summers and shoulder seasons,” and that, “Access to cooling is critical to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of students and school staff.”&nbsp;“While the <a href="https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/EPO/CDPH%20Document%20Library/Heat-Risk-Grid.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">extreme heat guidance</a> from the California Department of Public Health provides useful tips on how schools and students can combat high temperatures, the reality is that many of the suggestions are not practical for schools that were built decades ago and lack shade,” said Dr. Edgar Zazueta, Executive Director, Association of California School Administrators. “We need Prop 2 to make essential upgrades that keep our kids cool during these extreme weather events.”&nbsp;Contact: Molly Weedn <a href="mailto:Press@YesonProp2.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Press@YesonProp2.com</a>

In Face of Record Back-to-School Heat Waves, Proposition 2 is Needed More than Ever

This is a common sense measure that should be approved. Public schools and community colleges will benefit from this funding. Prop 2 also ensures that funding only be used for projects approved by local school and community college districts. Vote YES on Prop 2.

Bay Area Reporter: Vote YES on Prop 2

The Sentinel Editorial Board recommends a Yes vote on Prop. 2 because children in California deserve school facilities that are in good repair. Providing no funding would hurt all students.

Santa Cruz Sentinel: Yes on Prop. 2 for badly needed school infrastructure improvements

Two large bond measures will appear on California’s Nov. 5 statewide ballot. One proposes to fund long-delayed school improvements and the other responds to the consequences — such as massive wildfires, floods and droughts — of our changing climate. Both deserve voters’ support.

Bakersfield Californian: Vote 'yes' on Propositions 2

California voters will decide in the November election if they want to vote for a $10 billion bond for schools.If approved, the $10 billion bond would be for new construction and modernization of the K-12 schools, in addition to community colleges. California lawmakers voted last week to place the $10 billion dollar bond on the November ballot.
