Summary
Sierra Club CA's Position:

Passed

Proposition 2

Proposition 2 proposes a $10 billion bond aimed at improving educational infrastructure across California, with approximately $8.5 billion allocated for public schools and $1.5 billion for community colleges. The intended use of these funds includes new construction, renovations, and enhancements necessary for modern educational environments. As an organization that champions environmental sustainability and community welfare, Sierra Club California is mindful of how this measure may influence both educational equity and environmental integrity.

Passed

Proposition 4

This bond contains significant funding for environmental priorities (support by desert, 30x30, energy committees) that we may not have the opportunity to be funded at this level again due to the downturn and state budget constraints the past two years that may continue for several more years.
