- Authorizes annual state payments of at least $4000 per pupil for private and religious schools phased in
over four years.
- Restricts state and local authority to require private schools to meet standards, including state academic
requirements.
- Limits future health, safety, zoning, building restrictions on private schools.
- Requires release of composite test scores of voucher pupils.
- Permits Legislature to replace current voter-enacted constitutional funding priority for public schools
(Proposition 98) with minimum formula based on national per-pupil average, as defined by terms of this
measure.
- A YES vote of this measure means:
- In addition to funding a
public school system, the state
would make available to all
school-age children (kindergarten
through 12th grade) scholarships
(vouchers) of at least $4,000 each
year to pay tuition and fees at
private schools.
- A NO vote of this measure means:
- The state would not
fund scholarships (vouchers) to
pay tuition and fees at private
schools. The current approach
of funding public education for
kindergarten through 12th grade
through a system of public
schools would continue.
- Summary of Arguments FOR Proposition 38:
- Prop. 38 gives a $4,000 school
voucher to all parents to
choose the best education for
their children and provides
a stronger public education
funding guarantee. Prop. 38
holds schools accountable to
parents and students, is only
fair, and leads to smaller, safer
classrooms.

- Summary of Arguments AGAINST Proposition 38:
- Proposition 38 would create
voucher schools with no
standards for students, no
credentials for teachers, and no
accountability to taxpayers. Not
one penny of the billions spent
on Prop 38 will be used to make
our children’s public schools
better. Prop 38 is an expensive
experiment our children can’t
afford.
