Proposition 51 will enable the state to issue $9 billion in bonds to fund the improvement and construction of K-12 schools in California. Allocations include $3 billion to the construction of new schools, $2 billion to new community colleges and $500 million will to charter schools. Proponents including Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsome argue that the bonds are necessary to fund the state's decaying educational infrastructure. Opponents, including Governor Jerry Brown, argue that it will put the state further into debt and not allocate resources evenly amongst poor and rich school districts.
