VOTE YES ON PROPOSITION 15: SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES FIRST
PROPOSITION 15 IS KEY TO CALIFORNIA'S RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT.
● The state of California, along with local governments and school districts, face budget crises of historic proportions.
● Communities are now faced with the prospect of devastating cuts to essential workers, local services, and schools.
● Now more than ever, those essential workers, critical local services, and schools on the front lines deserve our support. Prop. 15 does just that.
● Prop. 15 will be key to California’s recovery and reinvestment strategy, and the investments generated by this initiative represent vital resources that will go towards how California rebuilds after this crisis.
● Prop. 15 will generate $12 billion every year for local governments and schools by closing corporate tax loopholes benefiting a fraction of those at the top, not nickel and dime'ing Californians.
● Prop. 15 protects homeowners and renters, small businesses, and agriculture from any changes. We simply can’t afford corporate tax loopholes at the expense of essential workers, critical local services, and public schools. Your vote makes a difference!

CTA Information
How much money would your district get with the passage of Prop. 15?
We are 35 days away from one of the most important elections of our time.
There is no denying that you, our colleagues and the students we teach are among those most disrupted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Along with nurses, firefighters, and those who have lost their loved ones, we continue to do what we can to take care of our students and our communities.
With scarce resources and a fiscal crisis that will lead to devastating cuts, we have an opportunity on November 3 to secure funding that will help us weather what is yet to come and invest in our future!
You see, funding for your school district is on the ballot. I’m talking about Proposition 15.
Passing Prop. 15 would bring
$4,086,045
in additional funds each year to
Whittier City Elementary.
These are local dollars that can be used to reduce class sizes, support educators and fund COVID-19 related needs, technology and the like.
For more than 40 years, large corporations like Chevron, Walmart and Bank of America have taken advantage of corporate property tax loopholes and are still paying 1978 rates. It’s time to put our Schools and Communities First! Prop. 15 protects homeowners and small businesses, while closing property tax loopholes for big corporations to bring the resources to our schools and communities that our students need and deserve.
Three Things You Can Do to Support Prop. 15:
Check out the Election 2020 section of our website for the Campaign Toolkit and the latest campaign information as well as full coverage of ballot initiatives and candidates. Also, remember to build your Personalized Voter Guide.
We can do this, together!
Thank you,
