Central Valley School District Prop. 1
What it will do:
Central Valley School District is asking voters to aporove a $75.76 million construction bond to modernize some elementary schools and build a new elementary school in the eastern part of the district. The estimated cost to taxpayers is an additional 80 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value per year, or approximately $120 more per year for a house assessed at $150,000.
Supporters say:
During the past two years student enrollment in the district has grown about 3 percent a year, or three times the enrollment growth rate the district experienced before 2004. An additional 5,300 students are expected in the next 10 to 12 years, based on more than 8,600 new housing units in the planning stages within the district’s boundaries.
Opponents say:
No organized opposition group has formed. A similar measure won popular approval in March but failed to capture the needed 60 percent supermajority.
