National
U.S. voters have rejected numerous proposals to increase public school funding in the 2026 midterm elections, reflecting growing concerns about property taxes, household affordability, and education spending. In Texas, fewer than one-third of 78 school district funding measures passed, while most proposals also failed in Alabama, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and Virginia. Ohio voters approved just five of 39 proposed school district income taxes, while Virginia rejected 32 of 47 proposed local sales tax increases for school infrastructure. In New Hampshire, approximately 59% of voters supported limits on school district property-tax increases, according to the New Hampshire Association of School Business Officials. Although funding measures secured majority approval in nine other states, several districts face significant financial consequences, including potential budget cuts and closures. Wisconsin’s Hustisford school district announced its dissolution following repeated unsuccessful tax referendums, highlighting the mounting financial pressures facing public education.

California
Last week's election revealed significant challenges for California school districts, with nearly half of the school bonds failing to pass. "It's a shocking outcome," said Sara Hinkley, director of policy and research at UC Berkeley's Center for Cities and Schools. A total of 86 districts sought $12.4bn for repairs, but only 50 bonds were successful, falling short of the required 55% approval. Economic pressures have led to painful cuts, as districts like Beaumont Unified, which needed $86 m for urgent repairs, face dire situations. John Affeldt, managing attorney at Public Advocates, highlighted the inequities in funding, stating: "Those who have more, get more." In contrast, San Diego Unified successfully passed a $3.4 bn bond, showcasing a stark divide in funding opportunities across districts.
