The 2026-27 Budget: California Community Colleges

Mar 5, 2026 - Under the Governor’s budget, the amount of the cushion is $241 million, equating to 1.7 percent of Proposition 98 spending on the community colleges in 2026‑27. (This amount reflects the use of $286 million in ongoing funds for one‑time spending, partly offset by the use of $44 million in one‑time Proposition 98 Reserve funds for ongoing program costs.)
