Proposition 2 would see the state borrow $10 billion in order to provide $8.5 billion for TK-12 school facilities and $1.5 billion for community college facilities. This funding is crucial as the current pool of school facilities bond money is running out and there is a significant backlog of more than 870 school projects waiting for funding, totaling $3.4 billion in requests.
Support for Prop. 2 comes from various groups including school districts, community colleges, teachers unions, and the building industry. Education leaders have highlighted the pressing need for updated facilities, noting that over a third of public K-12 students attended schools that did not meet minimum standards, pointing to more than $100 billion in facility needs looming over the next decade.
