Sacramento - California State Treasurer Fiona Ma joins hundreds of organizations in supporting Proposition 2, the statewide school bond initiative that will provide a $10 billion investment in schools across the state.
“California schools are in need of resources to make essential upgrades to ensure students are learning in safe environments,” said California State Treasurer Fiona Ma, CPA. “Proposition 2 will provide the funding to modernize wiring, build new classrooms and do the work to remove old infrastructure that puts students in harm's way. I’m proud to join the broad and growing coalition voting YES on Prop 2.”
In California, 38% of children attend schools that don’t meet minimum safety standards and are exposed to dangers like asbestos, mold, unsafe drinking water, and extreme heat. Proposition 2 will authorize a $10 billion investment – without raising any taxes or fees – to make sure students are safe and have stable learning environments.
Prop 2 provides funding for:
Safe drinking water for students
The removal asbestos, mold and lead paint
The repair of deteriorating sewer, gas and electrical lines
The rebuilding of schools immediately that were destroyed by wildfires, floods or other natural disasters
Protecting students from extreme heat at schools
Upgrade science, technology, engineering and math classrooms and labs for the 21st century learning and job training
Expansion of technical and vocational schools that provide affordable options for students and veterans to gain the skills needed for good paying jobs in a competitive global economy
