Proposition 13 – The Public Preschool, K-12 and College Health and Safety Bond Act of 2020

PPIC Poll

The Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) has released the results of a statewide survey regarding the March Primary Election. In that poll, PPIC included a question regarding Proposition 13, the 2020 State School Bond. The poll found that the bond has 48% support, that 36% oppose and 16% do not know. The results of this poll are similar to the polls done by PPIC on Proposition 51 prior to the November 2016 General Election and is not something that is impossible to reverse and overcome.  We succeeded in passing Proposition 51 and we will pass Proposition 13.

School Board Resolutions Needed in Support of Proposition 13 – the 2020 State School Bond

CASH hopes every school district and county office of education will endorse the 2020 State School Bond. We need to show voters that the bond is supported by all types of school districts:

AB 48 + Proposition 13

In accordance with state guidelines, California Secretary of State Alex Padilla has announced the official numbers for propositions qualified for the March 3, 2020, Presidential Primary Election. The bond bill–AB 48 (O’Donnell)—has been officially designated as Proposition 13.

The next step is for the Attorney General to publish the official ballot label by November 1, 2019.

Questions may arise as to why the State is “re-using” such a prominent proposition number. In 1998, ballot measures were restarted at “1,” and since then have been reset every 10 years. As such, AB 48 was assigned the number 13 because it was the next number available.

You can view the press release here and official information about the measure here.

URGENT ACTION NEEDED TODAY BY SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND COUNTY OFFICES OF EDUCATION TO PROTECT THE SCHOOL FACILITY PROGRAM FROM RADICAL CHANGES

The State School Facility Program (SFP) is under attack.  We need your immediate action to protect the SFP and state matching funds.  Governor Newsom’s Department of Finance (DOF)  is proposing amendments to AB 48 which would effectively end the current SFP. The amendments would also:

  • Reduce access to Developer Fees,
  • Create a new untested, unproven allocation system for New Construction and Modernization,
  • Stop accepting new applications for New Construction and Modernization until all Proposition 51 funds have been expended – which means for at least the next two years
  • Make many other changes all of which create uncertainty and no assurance that projects will be funded.

Please call your State Assembly Members and State Senators (click here to find your representatives) with the following messages:

I oppose the DOF proposed amendments to AB 48 that would change the SFP and hurt teachers, students and families of my school district.

I support AB 48 as proposed by Assembly Member O’Donnell and ask you to contact Speaker Rendon and President pro Tempore Atkins to support the current successful SFP and Assembly Member O’Donnell’s amendments.

Please call Governor Newsom’s Office, (916) 445-2841, with these messages:

I oppose the DOF proposed amendments to AB 48 that would change the SFP and hurt teachers, students and families of my school district.

I support AB 48 proposed by Assembly Member O’Donnell to support the current successful SFP and Assembly Member O’Donnell’s amendments.

I urge you not to make radical changes to the successful SFP that has worked for students, teachers and my community.
