Equal facilities lead to equal futures BY MEADOW SHEN
O
n Nov. 6, California voters approved Proposition 2, a bill that would provide funding to schools for the renovation and construction of school facilities. Modernized schools play a vital role in fostering safer and more comfortable learning environments, inspiring greater academic motivation to better prepare students for their career. Proposition 2 will provide $8.5 billion to K-12 schools and $1.5 billion to community colleges for the reconstruction of facilities. The money would be distributed to schools with a larger proportion
going to low-income districts and those with more foster youth. The passage of this proposition marks a step in the right direction toward promoting educational equity in California by providing funding for facilities in need. Story continued on pg. 7 || opinion
