Very Conv.
(PORTABLES) More than 20,000 Fresno Unified students at all grade levels go to class in outdated and deteriorating portables every day, and a quarter of neighborhood elementary schools have more portables than permanent classrooms. Passing this measure will build quality permanent classrooms, science and computer labs, job training classrooms, and improve libraries so students in every neighborhood school have the resources they need to learn. ^(SAFETY) Gangs, drugs and juvenile crime are a major problem in our
- community. This bond measure will allow programs to be expanded to
increase access to safe, supervised activities that keep young people off the streets, away from drugs and gangs, in school and on track to graduate. (ACCOUNTABILITY) This bond measure is subject to strict accountability requirements, including a public expenditure plan, independent annual audits, review of all spending by an Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee and the requirement that no money can be spent on administrator salaries or pensions, and all funds must be used locally to improve neighborhood schools. (LOCAL ECONOMY) This measure will strengthen the local economy by protecting local property values. Repairing and upgrading neighborhood schools will also create good-paying local jobs for a number of years. In addition, local contractors and small businesses, stores and service providers will receive much of the money spent on school improvements.
