Prop 30 Op-Ed Outline
I would
start the essay by introducing Prop 30 and its overall purpose. Then I’ll
explain how it’s a controversial topic that has drastic consequences for the California
Educational system because the results will effects millions of students and
teachers. I’ll explain the current situation regarding California’s education system.
It’s suffered from $20 billion in cuts in the past four years and 30,000 jobs
have been lost. The results are higher tuition, less availability of classes
for students, reduction in services that are being offered, and staff and lots
of faculty layoffs. I’ll end the introductory paragraph by saying that 30 can
make or break California’s higher education.
The
second and third paragraph would go further into detail about proposition 30. I
would explain what would happen if prop 30 doesn’t pass. For example, schools face an additional $6 billion
in cuts. Schools will lose half a billion in funding, city police will lose 20
million grants, and UC tuition would hike up by 20%.
The
third paragraph would address the positive things that would happen if prop 30
were to pass. I would say that prop 30 would give billions of dollars in
funding, guarantee public safety funding, and it would balance the budget.
In the
fourth paragraph I would explain how prop 30 directly affects everyone. I would
explain how sails tax will increase a penny for every four dollars, and it
would still remain lower than it was last year. Also I would say that income
tax only affects people earning $500,000 or more. I would say that it would ask
the wealthiest of Californians to pay their fair share.
In my
conclusion I would explain my credibility as a student who feels the effects of
the budget cuts. Paying for tuition, getting classes, and my higher educational
experience will be much be improved dramatically if Prop 30 passes.
