There was a huge victory for education on Tuesday: With the overwhelming approval of Proposition 28, California will now lead the nation in funding for the arts in every classroom. MargaritoGPerez has more ⤵️
In other words, the new state funding for every arts and music program will be tailored to the specific needs of each public school. The allocated money cannot be spent on anything else.
“Arts are the glue which brings together literacy, math and critical-thinking skills to help students succeed in school and in life,” Beutner said in a statement Wednesday. “Prop. 28 will make sure every student from preschool to 12th grade will have the opportunity to participate in arts and music at school.”
Part of that money will also be spent at the district’s administration property in University Heights. Within the next three years, central offices are being moved to Kearny Mesa. The campus on Normal Street will be repurposed into a kind of educator's village. The plan includes 500 units of affordable housing for employees who need it.
The victories for education this election come after intense campaigning that — in the case of the arts funding proposition — included some big names in entertainment.
