NOCCCD BUDGET CENTRAL
| 
For the first time in 20 years, California voters approved a general tax measure - and they did it in support of students and the education provided by community colleges.
Proposition 30 passed with support from 53.9% of California voters. Exit polls suggest that 28% of voters in the state were 18-29 years old. Passage of the proposition will have a profound impact on the North Orange County Community College District - including the confirmation of a Summer 2013 session.
We will have more about what Proposition 30 means in upcoming editions of the President's Weekly. For now, learn more at www.nocccd.edu/BudgetNews.htm.
