Education Protection Account
Background:
Proposition 30, approved by voters on November 6, 2012, established the Education Protection Account (EPA) which appropriates money for support of schools. Voters were assured that these funds would be used to help stabilize school budgets that were impacted by the revenue shortfalls as a result of the Great Recession.
Initiative promised voters the following:
Board of Trustees approve annual resolution and spending plan for EPA
EPA funds are not to be used for administration
District will publish an annual accounting of EPA revenues and expenditures
EPA will be included in the annual financial audit each year by external auditors
