No votes: 8,, Pro Supporters of Prop. They say the measure will accomplish this fairly by charging wealthier taxpayers more on income taxes and the rest on their ability to pay.
They claim that the Legislature will be barred from touching the money, that all the money will go to education, and that local governments will have control over how the money is spent on local schools. School districts typically have little flexibility in how to use these restricted funds. Under this measure, schools will receive roughly 60 percent of the revenues raised by the PIT rate increases through and roughly 85 percent annually thereafter.
The funds support three grant programs. The measure also creates spending restrictions and reporting requirements related to these funds. These major provisions are discussed in more detail below. Proposition 38 requires that CETF school funds be allocated as follows:. Funds received by school districts from this measure must be spent at the specific school whose students generated the funds.
In the case of low-income student grants, for example, if percent of low-income students in a school district were located in one particular school, all low-income grant funds would need to be spent at that specific school. As with most other school funding, however, the local governing board would determine how CETF funds are spent at each school site.
To ensure that Proposition 38 funds would result in a net increase in funding for all schools, the measure also would require school districts to make reasonable efforts to avoid reducing per-student funding from non-CETF sources at each school site below levels.
If a school district reduces the per-student funding for any school site below the level, it must explain the reasons for the reduction in a public meeting held at or near the school. Proposition 38 also requires school district governing boards at an open public hearing to seek input from students, parents, teachers, administrators, and other school staff on how to spend CETF school funds. When the governing board decides how to spend the funds, it must explain—publicly and online—how CETF school expenditures will improve educational outcomes and how those improved outcomes will be measured.
The measure also includes several reporting requirements for school districts. Most notably, beginning in , the measure requires all school districts to create and publish an online budget for each of their schools. The budget must show funding and expenditures at each school from all funding sources, broken down by various spending categories. The state Superintendent of Public Instruction must provide a uniform format for budgets to be reported and must make all school budgets available to the public, including data from previous years.
In addition, school districts must provide a report on how CETF funds were spent at each of their schools within 60 days after the close of the school year. Other Allowances and Prohibitions. The measure prohibits CETF school funds from being used to provide salary or benefit increases unless the increases are provided to other like employees that are funded with non-CETF dollars. The measure also has a provision that prohibits CETF school monies from being used to replace state, local, or federal funding provided as of November 1, Provides Additional Funding for Schools.
The amounts would be higher because the funds raised in also would be available for distribution. The amounts available in future years would tend to grow over time. Beginning in , the amount spent on schools would increase further as the amount required to be used for state debt payments decreases significantly.

Arguments For Proposition 38 Arguments Against Proposition 38 Education is our future because children are our future.
Without quality schools, our state will lack the skilled workforce needed to grow our economy and create jobs. Instead of investing in our schools, political leaders from both parties have been cutting. Over 40, educators have been laid off, and California now has the largest class sizes in the nation. Proposition 38 makes schools a priority again. It provides guaranteed funding to restore a well-rounded education and improve educational outcomes.
School sites can use the money to reduce class sizes or restore classes in art, music, math, science, vocational and technical education and college preparation—based on different needs at different schools.
