legislation offer the appearance of a guaranteed stream of revenue. In practice, however, it has too often caused community colleges to compete for Proposition 98 funds against K–12 schools rather than uniting us as two integral parts of California’s public
education system.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.5pt;line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333">Since the legislature began suspending the minimum-share guarantees in 1992, it has underfunded the
state’s community colleges by almost $3.5 billion. Passage of Proposition 98 in 1988 resulted in $2,765 for each community college FTES compared to $3,534 per average daily attendance (ADA) in the K–12 system, a difference of 24 percent (PPIC, 2002). The
effect of the decision to suspend the statutory split of Proposition 98 funds has been to further widen the gap in community college per-student spending in comparison to K-12 education and the state’s other two public postsecondary education sectors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

98 split of 10.93 percent and proposes a split of 10.87 percent for California Community Colleges. If approved, community colleges - which currently have the lowest per-student rate in California, will received about $44 million fewer resources - further
widening the gap in per-student funding.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
