In March 2020, Californians will vote on Proposition 13. It's bound to be a little confusing. Californians know "Prop 13" as the name of an iconic 1978 ballot measure that upended funding for public education. But like numbers on baseball jerseys, proposition numbers in California are reused. Perhaps jersey number 13 should be retired. In 2020 a wh...
This proposition, if approved by voters, will give the state authority to issue up to $15b in bonds to support the construction and modernization of school facilities, including both preK-12 schools and public colleges and universities. To get at the money, school districts will have to match it by passing their own property tax measures. The law t...
But let's back up a little. First, a few big points to understand: 1. Most of the burden of school construction and maintenance is borne locally, through local school bonds repaid by local property taxes. (Read on!) 2. The state has a history of contributing, too, using state school bonds repaid by state taxes. 3. State bonds have supported school ...
As in most states, school communities in California rely on a combination of state taxes and local taxes to build and maintain schools. It would be even more accurate to say that California communities rely on futurelocal taxes to pay back bonds sold to finance school construction and maintenance, with some help from future state taxes. Compared to...
Prop 13 (2020) has strong precedents. This is not the first time California has used state bond measures to commit state funds for school construction and modernization. There have been many such measures in the past; in the three decades up to 2019 eleven made it to the ballot. Ten passed, paying for facilities for both K-12 schools and higher edu...
An even bigger portion of the cost of building and modernizing school facilities during this period has been carried by school districts. Adjusted for inflation, in the last three decades school districts in California issued local bonds to borrow about $124 billion for local K-12 school facilities projects. Of course, more-wealthy communities tend...
School facility bonds are loans. The size of a school bond (whether state or local) is usually expressed in terms of its principal — the amount of money that it will raise, hopefully soon. But the total long-term cost of a school bond also includes fees and interest. For example, Prop 13 (2020), if passed, obligates the state to make payments of a ...
Some of California's schools are new buildings, many of them built to serve the state's expanding suburbs. But an awful lot of school buildings in California are not new. Renewal of these facilities is the emphasis of Proposition 13 (2020). In poorer school districts, shouldering the cost of school construction and renovation can be really hard, ev...
Like past state school bond measures, Proposition 13 (2020) is set up as a matching fund. Districts and their voters have an incentive to pass local bonds in order to get state matching dollars. The matching funds are limited — it's a "while supplies last" situation. In the past, state matching funds have disproportionatelybenefited wealthier schoo...
Economists tend to look at the world with an eyebrow permanently raised. School bonds borrow resources from the future and spend them in the present. Wouldn't it be more efficient, they might ask, to save for the future instead of borrowing from it? In this dream, school communities would still pay taxes for school construction and upkeep — but ins...
In 2020-21, nearly 2 out of every 3 dollars (66.2%) that K-12 school districts and county offices of education received were allocated through the LCFF. Slightly less than two-thirds of LCFF dollars came from the state and slightly more than one-third came from local property taxes.

Under the current budget, California K–12 schools will avoid cuts this year. But continued economic struggles may lead to billions of dollars in future cuts to state education funding. Budget projections suggest large operating shortfalls in the next few years, although current tax collections came in above expectations in the past few months
