PROP 2 PASSES!!! Thank you all so much for your incredible support. The passage of Prop 2 is a milestone for California's schools, educators, faculty, staff, and most importantly, California's kids.
We did it!
Prop. 2 SUCCEEDS! "California public school students thrive when they have safe facilities and infrastructure that supports their learning and growth," said @EdgarZazueta. "We celebrate Prop. 2’s success, knowing its importance for student achievement and well-being." @prop2ca
"Proposition 2 provides a light at the end of the tunnel for so many of our schools, many of which have waited years for funding to make critical updates. We applaud the work of the coalition for educating voters about the importance of Prop 2 and making sure Californians understood how critical the measure is to the future of not just schools, but our communities."

PROP 2 PASSES!
With nearly 57% of the vote, @AP has called it! Californians have passed Prop 2, the $10 billion investment to make sure students are safe and ready to learn.
In case you need a quick reminder before heading to the polls...
In California, 38% of students attend a public school that fails to meet minimum health standards.
Prop 2 will fund urgent repairs at local schools and protect kids from toxics like mold, asbestos and lead paint and ensure clean drinking water. All Prop 2 funds go to local schools, without raising taxes.
Vote YES on Prop 2 because all kids deserve a safe place to learn! #Yeson2CA
“If passed, Prop 2 and local school bond measures, like San Francisco’s Prop A, would build on climate and education investments already made that have made the city and our state a leader in climate action.” @G_InTheCity@prop2ca#YesOnProp2
Our TPL California State Director @G_InTheCity said it best: school recess shouldn’t be dangerous for kids. Voters in California can make sure it’s not. #Yeson2CA@sfchronicle@prop2ca https://t.co/5noeZoZvmC
Voting in California? Education, health, and the environment are on the ballot with Prop2 and Measure US. Investments in green schoolyards with shade and cooling effects are investments in people and climate solutions. #Yeson2CA@prop2ca https://t.co/XFGvtNOgAZ
Just as a reminder, Prop 2 provides funding for:
- Safe drinking water for students
- Removing asbestos, mold, and lead paint
- Repairing deteriorating sewer, gas, and electrical lines
- Rebuilding schools immediately that were destroyed by wildfires, floods, or other natural disasters
- Protecting students from extreme heat
- Upgrading science, technology, engineering, and math classrooms/labs for 21st-century learning and job training
- Expanding technical and vocational schools that provide affordable options for students and veterans to gain the skills needed for good-paying jobs in a competitive global economy
