If we want to fix teacher's salaries, we need to reform prop 13. The OUSD funding issues could have been solved if prop 15 was passed.

OUSD spends over $20k per student per year. ($746MM for 36k students.)

That's $480k per class per year.

OUSD owns its buildings, so none of that money needs to go to rent.

Why isn't $480k per class per year enough?

I think prop 13 should be fixed because it distorts the housing market but why is it necessary to pay teachers more. The state legislature can supplement school funding with income tax money. No referendum needed.
