The proposal: Would seek voter approval for the school district to issue bonds to modernize facilities and meet fire and safety codes; repair roofs; build computer labs; improve access for people with disabilities; build track and field facilities; modernize or replace portables more than 20 years old; perform arts renovations.
Fiscal effect: The $66.3 million bond issue requires 55 percent approval. Proceeds from the bond sale could be used only for modernizing, improving and equipping school facilities and could not be used for teacher and administrator salaries or other school operating expenses.
Arguments in favor: El Dorado Union High School District students should receive the highest quality education in safe, well-equipped schools that prepare them for careers. Each of the six high schools will directly benefit, and passage would help them stay as the top schools in the region. A citizens oversight committee will ensure the money is well spent. The average property owner will pay less than $4 a month. Better schools increase property values.
Arguments against: None submitted
