California's $10 Billion School Bond Measure Prop. 2 Leads in Early Voting

Proposition 2 aims to fund crucial repairs and upgrades for aging K-12 schools and community colleges across the state.

Proposition 2 seeks to allocate $8.5 billion for K-12 school renovations and $1.5 billion for community colleges.
The measure has bipartisan support and endorsements from over 150 groups, including educational and business organizations.
If passed, the bond would cost the state approximately $18 billion over 30 years, without raising taxes but increasing state debt.
Supporters argue the bond is necessary due to the urgent need for safe and modern school facilities, with many campuses failing to meet safety standards.
Critics, including the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, oppose the bond due to concerns over increasing state debt and future financial burdens.
