Prop 28: Guarantee Arts Funding for Public Schools (November 2022)

This measure would guarantee that 1% of education funding go to the arts, and would direct more funds to schools serving disadvantaged students.

California public school students are currently required to take art classes to graduate, but our underfunded schools are not guaranteed funding to ensure that arts programming is robust and beneficial, especially in low income and communities of color. This measure would guarantee that 1% of the states education funding go to the arts, prescribe that 80% of that funding go to training and supplies, and would direct more funds to schools serving disadvantaged students. More teachers would get hired, and more students would benefit from attention to the arts.
