Amidst a politically charged climate, educators ponder what a Trump presidency means for the industry. Four states Tuesday voted on referenda that will impact the K-12 landscape.

• California voters approved Proposition 51 to issue a $9 billion bond for the modernization of K-12, charter, vocational schools and community colleges. $3 billion will go to new school construction, $500 million to providing charter school facilities, another $3 billion to school modernization, $500 million to career and technical education facilities, and the remaining $2 billion for the acquisition, renovation, construction and supplying of community college facilities. The passing of Proposition 55 will extend an income tax provision that directs 89% of the revenue collected to K-12 schools. Voters also said yes to Proposition 58, which will signal the return of bilingual education to California.

• Massachusetts voters said no to a measure that would have expanded the presence of charters in the state, allowing the Board of Education to approve up to 12 new charter schools or enrollment expansions in current charter schools each year.

• In North Dakota, voters supported the idea of reallocating 10% of the revenue from the oil extraction tax into a common school trust fund.

• Georgia’s Amendment 1 failed, disallowing state intervention in failing schools in the state.
