Proposition 28 - General Information

The Proposition 28 - General Information resource provides an overview of California's Proposition 28, which establishes a permanent funding stream for arts and music education, equal to 1% of the state's education budget. The funding, which will total nearly $1 billion annually, must supplement and not supplant existing programs, with a requirement that at least 80% of the funds are dedicated to hiring staff for arts instruction. It clarifies that funds are allocated by school site to ensure access for all students, and outlines that the remaining funds can be used for supplies, professional development, and field trips.
