California's current funding system for school construction lacks fairness, favoring wealthy districts that can access more funds, which perpetuates inequality in school infrastructure.
The proposed Proposition 2 would authorize the state to borrow an additional $10 billion, leading to higher state debt payments while failing to meaningfully address funding inequities.
Over 85% of school construction funding comes from local district bond measures, placing lower-wealth districts at a disadvantage when seeking state support for construction.
The state's role in school construction funding should be to support lower-wealth districts, yet the current system rewards those with existing financial means.
