California voters will soon decide the fate of a $10 billion school bond measure for K-12 schools and community colleges.

Proposition 2 would authorize borrowing $10 billion “for repair, upgrade, and construction of facilities at K-12 public schools (including charter schools), community colleges, and career technical education programs, including for improvement of health and safety conditions and classroom upgrades.”

The listed fiscal impact is “increased state costs of $500 million annually for 35 years to repay the bond.”

Prop 2 is supported by the California Teachers Association (CTA), state school nurse organization and community college group. It is opposed by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.
