  A. Consideration of Approval of Proposition 30, 2018-19 - Final Report
   
Proposition 30, the Schools and Local Public Safety Protection Act of 2012, approved by the voters on November 6, 2012, temporarily increases the state's sales tax rate for all taxpayers and the personal income tax rates for upper-income taxpayers.
The revenues generated from Proposition 30 are deposited into a state fund called the Education Protection Account (EPA). School districts, county offices of education, and charter schools (LEAs) will receive funds from the EPA based on their proportionate share of the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) amount. A corresponding reduction is made to an LEA or charter school's LCFF state aid equal to the amount of their EPA entitlement. LEAs will receive EPA payments quarterly.
