Proposition 2

How K12 Consulting Group Helps Districts Plan, Apply, and Build

In November 2024, California voters approved Proposition 2, a $10 billion school facilities bond that provides state funding for the modernization, repair, and construction of public K–12 and community college buildings. This critical funding is designed to support safer, healthier, and more equitable learning environments across the state.

K12 Consulting Group is here to help school districts plan strategically, secure funding, and manage projects—ensuring full compliance while maximizing every dollar.

What is Proposition 2?

Also known as the Public Education Facilities Bond, Prop 2 provides:

  • $8.5 billion for K–12 school facilities

  • $1.5 billion for California Community Colleges

  • Dedicated funds for modernization, new construction, safety upgrades, transitional kindergarten (TK), and career technical education (CTE)

  • Additional funding for lead remediation and improvements to drinking water systems

State matching rates range from 50–65%, depending on project type and district need.

Who Qualifies?

All California public K–12 school districts, including charter schools, are eligible to apply. Districts with limited local resources, small enrollments, or high-need student populations may qualify for enhanced matching or priority funding.
