NO
Prop 28 Arts Education Funding
Diverts $1B/year from other priorities. Constrains Legislature from meeting current needs.
Don’t divert funds from other priorities to arts education.
Background
Prop 28 requires the state to set aside about $1 billion per year for arts education in government schools. It doesn’t raise any new revenue, so that money comes out of other state programs: healthcare, housing, other educational programs, and so on.
Decision
Passing Prop 28 would constrain the Legislature from budgeting in a way that meets the state’s current needs. Vote no.
