Seven to nine billion dollars from taxes would go to funding schools to help bring back teachers, fun elective classes, and to pay for programs that help students make up academic classes.

This is all from the work of prop 30, that states every year for seven years will get more money for schools (including Bell High) from a small tax increase. Paying for the taxes don’t effect students, but the money from tax payers like family members of students might.

“Prop 30 is the one that will have to pass not prop 38,” said Mr. Oronoz,  who approves of prop 30. Prop 38 is another proposition provide by advocate Molly Munger who states schools could get $10 billion a year for 12 years from tax payers.

Prop 38 spends its marketing fund on advertisements, stating that a lot of the money given to the schools would be taken by politicians if prop 30 passes. “It’s all just propaganda. Education would not be fully funded if prop 38 passes,” said Mr. Oronoz.
