Learn about Prop J

SDUSD is proposing a temporary parcel tax that will cost home owners $98 a year and, in return for that, schools will receive $50 million each year over the next 5 years. Please learn about Prop J for yourself and tell everyone you know to do the same.

In the past 3 years, Sacramento has cut annual funding for San Diego City Schools by more than $300 million – nearly a quarter of the District’s operating budget. Innovations too has experienced cuts, last year alone we were cut and deferred by $300,000, that's 1/3 of our operating budget.

This measure will provide $50 million a year for 5 years to help offset those cuts, to relieve severe cuts in academic programs. Charter schools are guaranteed a per year a pro-rata share each year which we estimate will be about $500/student per year.

This is a local measure, passed by local voters. By law, Sacramento can NOT take this funding away.
