Proposition 28: What We Know
In November 2022, nearly 7 million California voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 28: The Arts and Music in Schools — Funding Guarantee and Accountability Act. We know you’ve got questions about Prop 28 implementation, and so do we! In the spirit of transparency and partnership, here’s what Create CA knows, what we don’t know, and what you can do.
Proposition 28 adds The Arts and Music in Schools— Funding Guarantee and Accountability Act to the California Education Code to provide a minimum source for annual funding to “supplement arts education programs” for pupils attending PK–12 public and charter schools. Pre-K and charter schools must be state funded to receive Prop 28 funding.
Please note that Proposition 28 is separate from the one-time Arts, Music, and Instruction Materials Discretionary Funding Block Grant.
The California Department of Education will be the lead for implementation and establishing guidelines. The CDE email address for Prop 28 questions: Prop28@cde.ca.gov.
More information from CDE can be found on their website.
