Prop. 30 will help school budgets




Public schools have been hit hard in the last decade, and it’s only getting worse.

Schools have endured cuts of more than $20 billion in the last four years alone. Proposition 30 can help change the downward spiral of public education financing by pumping $30 billion into local classrooms in just the next year.

As a member of the California Retired Teachers Association, whose members have dedicated their lives to children, we know the importance of having the tools available to help students succeed.

Proposition 30 is a step in the right direction.
