Gangs and drugs are problems in our local schools. My neighborhood schools are aging, deteriorating, run down, and in need of repair. District funds are not shared equally among our neighborhood schools. San Juan public schools are safe for students. Our schools and classrooms lack access to up-to-date technology. The San Juan Unified School District has a difficult time attracting and retaining quality teachers. San Juan Unified School District has passed a bond measure within the past few years. San Juan Unified School District finances are generally well-managed.
DK/NA
District funds are distributed equally so that all students have equal access to computers, science labs, and libraries.

(ACCOUNTABILITY) [A] measure is subject to strict accountability requirements, including independent annual financial audits, review of all spending by a citizens’ oversight committee, and no funding can be used for administrators’ salaries or pensions. By law, all funds are required to be spent locally to improve neighborhood schools, and none of this money can be taken away by Sacramento politicians. (REPAIRS) Many local schools are over 60 years old and in need of significant repairs. A recent report showed that we have as much as $2 billion in need. Passing this measure will enable schools to fix deteriorating classrooms, leaky roofs, water pipes, plumbing, bathrooms, and electrical wiring; remove asbestos and lead paint; and replace outdated security and fire safety systems so children can learn in safe, healthy classrooms. (PROPERTY VALUES) [A potential bond] measure is a good long-term investment. Improving neighborhood schools strengthens local property values, and makes our community a more desirable place to live, do business, and raise a family. (NEXT GENERATION LEARNING) This [potential] local school bond measure will upgrade schools to meet twenty-first century academic standards. Funds will be used to provide students with equal access to clean, safe, and up-to-date classrooms, science labs, computer technology, and vocational and career education programs that prepare students for college and the workforce.

(MATCHING FUNDS) Passing this measure will ensure that local schools have access to state matching funds and allow them to take advantage of funds that would otherwise go to other districts. (SECURITY) This bond measure will make our schools safer. By improving school security and emergency communication systems, installing more security cameras and alarms, and improving emergency lighting and fencing, this measure will allow us to make essential security upgrades necessary to provide our children with safe learning environments, and to keep intruders out. (TEACHERS) Quality classrooms and good teachers are essential to classroom education. This measure will improve the quality of education for every student, and help attract and retain quality teachers by improving classrooms and teaching environments. (SECURITY #2) It seems like every day we hear about acts of violence in schools and public places across
measure will improve school security and emergency communication systems, install more security cameras and alarms, and improve emergency lighting and fencing essential to providing our children with safe learning environments, and to keeping intruders out. (WATER) California’s drought has made conserving water more important than ever. This bond will help the San Juan Unified School District use water more efficiently, including upgrading water conservation systems and repairing drinking fountains and water pipes, which saves money and protects our water supply.
