WHY PROP 3 MATTERS TO OUR EDUCATORS
Hear from James De Leo, an SAEA member, about why theyβre supporting Yes on Proposition 3 and what continued funding for public education means to them, their students, and our schools. π
π What is Prop 3?
Proposition 3 would make permanent the existing voter-approved income tax rates on high-income Californians that are currently scheduled to expire in 2031. At 2025 income levels, the additional rates apply to income above approximately $371,000 for individuals and $742,000 for couples filing jointly.
The measure maintains an estimated $5β15 billion in annual state revenue, with funding supporting public education and other state programs. The measure specifies that education revenues are allocated 89% to Kβ12 schools and 11% to community colleges.
SAEA supports Yes on Prop 3.
