FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) - Fresno Unified School District Board of Trustees is making a final push to voters to say "yes" to Measure H. The $500 million facilities bond will repair older schools and improve safety and classroom space. Norseman Elementary is one of the many schools that will benefit from the bond. The school, built in 1956, is less equipped to serve students today than it was 68 years ago. On Tuesday, Trustees Veva Islas and Andy Levine discussed the needed upgrades. "Norseman serves a large number of deaf and hard of hearing students, so students that attend the school are some of our most vulnerable students in our district," said Islas. Islas says the campus falls short of ADA compliance. If the bond passes, Norseman will improve those needs, get new classrooms, a new cafeteria, and a relocated main office. One parent, who supports the measure, says the current office's location is unsafe. "Our office is in the center, so you won't see, like who's coming in and out, and if this is approved, we'll get the office here, so we'll know that our kids are going to be safe going in one gate and coming out the same way." Norseman is just one of nearly 35 schools that will see improvements if Measure H is passed. However, not everyone supports it. Fresno Unified School Board President Susan Wittrup released a statement strongly opposing the bond that said, in part "the process to put Measure H on the ballot you received this week was sloppy and deeply flawed." Wittrup agrees that campuses are aging and dilapidated but says hiring a permanent superintendent should come first. Former Fresno Unified Board President Brooke Ashjian is in opposition.  "Such a substantial tax hike is unjustifiable, especially when many families are struggling with inflation and economic uncertainty," he said. If passed, homeowners with an average assessed value of $200,000 will see an annual increase of $50. And as of this year, taxpayers are still paying for Measures A, K, X, Q, and M. "We cannot afford to wait, I believe that we need to invest in these facilities right now, and in fact, the longer we wait, the more likely it is for costs to continue to rise and our overall need to continue to rise," Levine said. The bond needs 55% voter approval to pass on Nov. 5.
