Propuesta R: Préstamos para financiar tecnología, rendimiento y mantenimiento escolar

Public education is on the ballot. With public budgets already stretched thin, and the costs of remote learning and safe in-person instruction, funding our schools is more important than ever. This measure would issue $8000 million in bonds to repair classrooms, support curriculum, and improve technology. While we wish the wealthiest corporations would fund this instead of relying on fragmented property taxes and bonds, passing this measure will benefit students and the entire community.

We can fully and reliably fund our schools, emergency and safety net services, and thriving communities across the globe. In fact, these resources are nothing more than the lining of the pockets of millionaires, billionaires, and large corporations, a trivial amount to them. Therefore, we must support justice and equal taxation to ensure that our children, regardless of appearance or origin, receive quality public education and public resources. Finally, we urge you to support California Proposition 15, which will reclaim $12 billion annually from the wealthiest corporations to fund schools and local community services.
