Residents set to vote on largest ever bond issuance

  • 2020-02-14
Supporters for Measure I are running out of time to convince the public as the voting date approaches.

Measure I is a $900m school bond which, if passed, will be the biggest school bond issued in Santa Clara County’s history. The public will get the chance to vote on the bond during the primary county elections scheduled for March 3%. At least 55% of the county’s registered voters would have to vote in its favor for it to pass. Ballots are already being sent to residents; such ballots often feature the official Letterheads of the organizations that sent them.

The school district is asking for such a large bond in order to renovate 14 schools and implement important touch-ups over the next 30 years. The district submitted the Facility Master Plan in 2017 that showed how the $1bn will be spent.

The FMP shows that Live Oak High has 16 projects it wants to work on and they will cost a total of $133m to complete. According to the list of projects submitted, $44m is for arts and science programs, $17m will be used to construct new classrooms, $13.7m will go to improving the student union and other services, while $10m will be used on improving the facilities for physical education. Projects at other schools include upgrading the fire detection systems and smoke alarms, which were installed 40 years ago.
