The 2026-27 Budget: Community College Facilities

Mar 17, 2026 - C = construction; DB = design Bbild; and STEM = science, technology, engineering, and math. Assessment Trade-Offs in Deciding How Much Funding to Allocate in 2026-27. Under the Governor ’s budget, the state would be committing nearly $1.3  billion (83  percent) of total Proposition  2 bond funding through 2026-27, leaving $249  million (17  percent) available for future years.

The 2026-27 Budget: Higher Education Overview

The 2026-27 Budget: California State University

Feb 24, 2026 - The state pays costs for the employer contribution associated with CSU’s 2013‑14 payroll level. CSU pays the employer contribution for any payroll growth above that level. The state adopted this arrangement in 2013‑14 to provide CSU with a stronger fiscal incentive to contain staffing costs.

The 2026-27 Budget: University of California

Feb 26, 2026 - Absent a clear plan for how the state would accommodate these costs alongside other General Fund priorities, the out ‑year commitments might be delayed further, not made at all, or necessitate budget solutions in other areas.

The 2026-27 Budget: Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education

Mar 25, 2026 - We further recommend the Legislature address BPPE ’s underlying structural deficit during the sunset review process this spring. As part of the sunset review, the state could approve fee increases to ensure the regulatory agency can cover its costs and be fiscally solvent in the years to come.
