East County Neighbors for Safe Schools--YES on H
(A public notice published in 2003)
Election
Day: March 2, 2004
Our neighborhood high
schools have served generations of students well over the years. Today
24,447 students attend 16 schools/programs in various East County communities. But aging and
deteriorated high school facilities are now threatening the local quality of
education.
Don't
let the outward appearance of the schools fool you. The school district
maintains facilities responsibly, but most schools are now at least 30-50 years
old; some are even older.
Roofs
leak. Plumbing, sewers and restrooms are deteriorated. Emergency
systems are old and defective. Classrooms and science labs need
rehabilitation. Electrical systems are inadequate to handle today's education
technology. Heating and ventilation systems are inefficient and
costly. Deteriorated buildings and grounds are causing safety
hazards.
Proposition H will rehabilitate aging schools and relieve overcrowding.
Proposition
H will:
- Replace aging roofs
- Upgrade deteriorated
plumbing, and restrooms
- Improve electrical
capacity for safety and better access to technology
- Upgrade fire alarms,
sprinklers and emergency safety systems
- Renovate old, outdated
classrooms, science labs and libraries
- Replace inadequate
heating and ventilation with energy efficient systems
- Upgrade school buildings
and grounds for improved safety/security/utility
- Construct a new high
school
All money raised by Proposition H will benefit local students and
schools.
Passage
of Proposition H will qualify the school district for $120,000,000 in State
matching funds. These funds will be given to other school districts if
Proposition H does not pass.
Proposition
H mandates proper fiscal controls and accountabilities. Annual
performance and financial audits and an independent Citizens Oversight
Committee are required by law to monitor expenditures and ensure all funds
are spent properly.
Good
schools protect property values and the resale value of homes in our community.
Please
join parents, teachers, senior citizens, and business and community leaders
throughout our community in voting YES on Proposition H.
