Proposition 30 was approved by the voters of California on November 6, 2012. Proposition 30 added Article XIII, Section 36 to the California Constitution which not only impacts cash flow patterns in school districts but also has an accountability component. The Proposition provides that all K-14 local agencies have the sole authority to determine how the funds received from the Education Protection Account (EPA) are spent, but with the following provisions:

  1. The spending plan must be approved by the governing board during a public meeting
  2. EPA funds cannot be used for the salaries or benefits of administrators or any other administrative costs (as determined through the account code structure)
  3. Each year, the local agency must publish on its website an accounting of how much money was received from the EPA and how the funds were expended
