2024 California Proposition 2

Proposition 2, titled Authorizing Bonds for Public Schools and Community College Facilities, was a California ballot proposition and legislative statutes that passed in the 2024 general election on November 5, 2024. The proposition authorized the issuance of $10 billion in state general obligation bonds for repair, upgrade, and construction of facilities at K–12 public schools and community colleges; this also includes charter schools throughout the state of California.

The proposition also allowed for the authorization of the following:

• Funding for new facilities, to improve school health and safety conditions at existing facilities, and for classroom upgrades (e.g., science, engineering, transitional kindergarten, and vocational classrooms).
• Expansion of eligibility for financial hardship grants for small and disadvantaged school districts.
• Higher percentage of state matching funds to schools demonstrating greatest need.
• Mandatory public hearings and performance audits.
• Appropriation of money from General Fund to repay bonds.
