- Summary of Arguments FOR Proposition 88:
- Proposition 88 will improve
our schools. It helps teachers
by providing funds directly to
local schools to reduce class
size and provide textbooks
and learning materials. It
requires strict accountability
and exempts disabled
and elderly homeowners.
Teachers, businesses, and
taxpayers agree: YES on
88 for Textbooks, Smaller
Classes, Better Schools.
