Proposition 28, also known as Art and Music K-12 Education Funding Initiative and Prop 28, was a California ballot proposition intended to provide yearly funding for art and music education in all K-12 public schools in California. The measure passed in the November 2022 California elections. The annual amount of funding required would have been equal to 1% of the required state and local funding for public schools as laid out by 1988's California Proposition 98. The funds would have been distributed so that schools that serve economically disadvantaged students got a greater proportion of the funds. Schools with 500 or more students would have been required to spend 80% of the funds received on employing teachers and the other 20% on training and supplies.[1] The measure put almost $1 billion in new funding from the state's general fund towards arts and music education. It also requires public reports from schools to show that the funds are being spent appropriately.[2]
