The board is scheduled to review and approve the “Proposition 28 Arts and Music in Schools Annual Report for 2025-26,” reflecting how Orange County Educational Arts Academy is using dedicated state funding for arts and music programs. While the agenda line is framed as a report, Prop 28 funding requires programmatic planning, staffing, and purchasing of arts-related materials, equipment, and services. This indicates sustained and likely ongoing investment in arts and music education that vendors can support with curricula, instruments, digital arts tools, performance services, and professional development.As the school reports on 2025-26 use of funds, they will also be planning for the next funding cycle, creating an opening to propose enhancements or new offerings that align with their arts-focused mission. A useful discussion would center on their current Prop 28 spending priorities and gaps they want to address in upcoming years.

Prop 28 funds are restricted for arts and music, often used for staffing, equipment, and program enhancements that can recur annually.
