California Education Funding Debate Centers on Proposition 3
What happened
A special education teacher at Elsie Allen High School stated that public schools provide life-changing learning access for various student populations in the Santa Rosa community. The teacher noted that California voters have an opportunity in November to recommit to public education funding through Proposition 3. This proposition aims to make the vital revenue stream permanent, which has supported public education since 2012.

Why it matters
Without Proposition 3, public education faces a fiscal cliff that could strip billions from Kâ12 schools and community colleges. The funding mechanism, which has generated over $119 billion since 2012, is key to maintaining current classroom resources for Santa Rosa City Schools.
