Voters across the Inland Empire were to decide on bond measures to upgrade public schools across the area. Early election results on Tuesday, Nov. 5, show many of the bonds in the lead. Many school districts, from Pomona to Redlands, asked voters to approve local measures. The projects vary, but include building and upgrading classrooms, repairs of roofs and plumbing or electrical systems and the addition of technology to campuses. Advocates argued that aging campuses need work and that school districts have few ways to pay for such improvements. Foes said bond measures are too vague about the projects that would be funded and that bond oversight committees can lack the independence to critically review spending. The timing wasn’t a coincidence as the statewide Proposition 2, if passed, would offer up $10 billion for school construction work. To receive state construction dollars, school districts need to pay large amounts of money. Usually the state pays half the cost of new buildings and 60% of renovations, the state Legislative Analyst’s Office reports. The local bond measures need 55% of votes cast to pass.
