November ballot measures could have huge impact on LAUSD
California voters may face difficult decisions regarding the future of education in the state in November as the state ballot could feature several propositions that would have an enormous impact on the educational landscape.
So far only one ed-related measure has been cleared for voting, but there are several others in the works, each with a potential to affect the future of LA Unified and school districts across the state.
Already eligible for the ballot is the “Kindergarten Through Community College Public Education Facilities Bond Act of 2016,” which would authorize $9 billion in general obligation bonds, including $3 billion for new construction and $3 billion for modernization of K-12 public school facilities, $1 billion for charter schools and vocational education facilities and $2 billion for California Community Colleges facilities.
As the largest district in the state, LA Unified would receive a significant portion of the bond funds and would have little trouble figuring out what to do with them, as it needs roughly $40 billion to fix and modernize its existing facilities with only $7.8 billion November ballot measures could have huge impact on LAUSD - LA School Report:
