The measure, a $9 billion state school facilities bond to adequately fund school construction and modernization projects throughout the state, will appear on the November 2016 ballot.

“With new school construction and improvement projects already backlogged, we must pass the school facilities bond in November so that school facilities don’t fall further behind,” said Senator Runner. “The measure will ensure school districts are given the opportunity to create safe and effective places for students to learn, and create good paying jobs in the community.”

The Los Angeles County Democratic Party (LACDP) unanimously endorsed the “The School Facilities Bond Act of 2016” at its monthly meeting. The measure will provide $9 billion to help build and repair schools in districts all across California, including $2 billion for community colleges. This bond act is on the ballot for the November 8, 2016 election.

The “The School Facilities Bond Act of 2016” provides necessary funding for the construction and repair of thousands of schools across the state which are in dire need as prior school bond funding has been depleted for some time. The 2016 bond will enable infrastructure improvements to meet the needs of our children, teachers, and schools. LACDP joins more than 100 school districts, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson, and many other elected officials and education proponents in support of this act.
