Proposition 51 is a California ballot proposition that passed on the November 8, 2016 ballot, regarding $9 billion in bonds to fund construction and improvement of K-12 and community college facilities. The measure designates $7 billion for K-12 projects falling under four types of projects (new construction, modernization, career technical education facilities, and charter school facilities), and $2 billion for any facility project for community colleges.[2] No other bond measures related to education have been on the California ballot since 2006.[3]
There was bipartisan support for Prop 51.[3] Arguments for the measure stated that K-12 and community college classrooms and other facilities are in need of improvement and repair to meet health and safety standards.[4] Arguments against the measure stated that it did not guarantee equitable distribution of the bond money.[3] The opposition discontinued their fundraising in June 2016.[3]
A September 2016 poll by the Public Policy Institute of California showed that 47% of likely voters supported Proposition 51, 43% opposed it, and 10% did not know how they would vote.[5]
