Local schools are pleased that Proposition 30 passed, but officials say it's far from a full solution for a broken California education system. The proposition created temporary taxes to fund education and guaranteed local public safety funding.

What local school leaders are saying about Proposition 30

Jeff Johnston

President, Lodi Teacher’s Association

“We’re very happy the voters of California realize our students can’t afford to have any more cuts to our classrooms. Hopefully this could mean a restoration of instructional days, reduce class sizes, and LUSD could recognize the concessions and burdens our teachers have shouldered.”

Tim Hern

Chief business officer for Lodi Unified School District

“It means we don’t have to look at making $11 million in reductions. Now we know we can live within what we have, but we don’t see any new dollars in the system this year or any future years.”

Matthew Roberts

Galt Joint Union High School District superintendent

“It represents some flat funding for us to where we don’t have to do further cuts. It’s not quite enough to get us to where we’re running new programs, but we did take a collective sigh of relief.”

Cathy Nichols-Washer

Lodi Unified School District superintendent

“It is important to keep in mind that Prop. 30 does not provide new money to schools. It will help the state pay back the deferrals.  We continue to be concerned about cash, as Prop. 30 does not solve the problem.”  

John Gordon

School board member, Galt Joint Union Elementary School District

“It’s not necessarily that public education has hit the jackpot. It’s more about stopping the cuts. It would be nice if we could get to a point where we were spending more of our time on learning outcomes rather than how to stretch a dollar. There’s a huge sense of relief, but I don’t feel celebratory at all.”
