Today, the State Allocation Board held a regular meeting to conduct routine business. The appeal from Lompoc Unified (Santa Barbara) was removed from the agenda. The Board then reconvened into an emergency meeting to consider granting additional authority to the Executive Director in response to the ongoing public health emergency.
CASH SAB Update
On February 26, the State Allocation Board met to elect a Vice Chair, and for other routine business. The Proposed Regulations for the Facility Hardship and Seismic Mitigation Programs were pulled from the agenda.
Proposition 13: The 2020 State School Bond
AB 48 (O’Donnell) approved by the Legislature and signed by the Governor, has now become Proposition 13 and will appear on the March 3, 2020 California Primary Ballot. Proposition 13 continues the School Facility Program (SFP) with new resources and important programmatic improvements. CASH is urging support for Proposition 13. We need your assistance to help spread the message that approval of Proposition 13 is critical for California’s students, teachers, California’s economy, and for building, renovating and maintaining schools to ensure that they are clean, safe and healthy.

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:
Proposition 13 – Californians for Safe Schools and Healthy Learning
The Public Preschool, K-12 and College Health and Safety Bond Act of 2020
We are asking our CASH members to begin educating California voters on the importance of passing the 2020 State School Bond, Proposition 13 on the March 3, 2020 Primary Election Ballot. Due to the holidays, we only have about 100 days until voters receive their absentee ballots.
