School Bond Update & Davis v. Fresno (lease-leaseback)

Posted on June 3, 2015 by CASH

06/03/15

School Bond Legislative Update:

Yesterday the State Senate heard Senate Bill 114 (Liu) the Senate School Bond Bill. The bill failed to pass off the Senate Floor, receiving 26 of the 27 votes necessary for passage. The bill was supported by every Democrat, but by no Republicans.  SB 114 had a number of program changes but no dollar amounts were specified for new construction, modernization, or any other programs. Yesterday’s actions do not mean the bill is dead, it can be reconsidered later. Lack of passage should be considered as another step in the process for legislative consideration for a 2016 State School Bond.   SB 114 is a 2016 bond bill and it is now only June 2015, so there is time.

Posted on March 28, 2014 by CASH

March 28, 2014

We are at a critical point in our advocacy for a 2014 statewide school bond, and we need your help to urge the Governor to support this effort.

We are requesting that each of our members, including both school districts and their business partners, draft a letter to the Governor encouraging him to support a school bond on the November ballot.  We hope a groundswell of communications will convince the Governor of the significant need for an ongoing State-local partnership for the provision of school facilities.
