School bonds

51 Question: Should voters authorize $9 billion in bonds to pay for K-12 school and community college facilities? Money raised for “Yes” campaign: $12.2 million What you should know: Though local school districts routinely approve bonds for construction, the state bond program has run low on cash. Developers, the state PTA and other groups in support say the money is needed to help pay for tens of billions of dollars in school facility needs. Critics contend the measure will make it harder for low-income districts to get repair dollars. Gov. Jerry Brown is the most prominent opponent, calling the measure “a blunderbuss effort” in a memorable statement last year.
