California's Proposition 28 secures **\$800M - \$1B annually** for arts education. For school districts (LEAs) with over 500 students, the law is unambiguous: a minimum of **80%** of these dedicated funds **must** be spent on certificated or classified employees who provide arts instruction.
Our Focus: Personnel Accountability
We track this 80% metric in real-time. Failure to meet it is a systemic violation, enabling us to build a legal case that compels state authorities to withhold general apportionment or impose sanctions on non-compliant districts.
