PPIC Analysis Details Potential State Funding Cuts for California Schools
What happened
The Public Policy Institute of California released an analysis regarding state education funding. This funding hinges on Proposition 3, a ballot initiative that would extend top-bracket income tax rates on high earners to preserve up to $15 billion annually for public schools and healthcare. The measure removes the scheduled 2030 expiration date for high-earner tax brackets.
