Election - June 3, 2014
San Benito County
Measure G:
Bond issue of $42,500,000 for San Benito High School District:
To improve the quality of local education by ensuring all San Benito High School students can access modern classrooms and educational tools, shall San Benito High School District:
- replace/upgrade classrooms and labs to prepare students for college and careers;
- repair roofs, plumbing and outdated electrical systems;
- add 21st century instructional/vocational technology;
- improve school safety;
- improve access for persons with disabilities
by issuing $42.5 million of bonds, with citizen oversight, audits, with NO money for administrator salaries?
SVTA recommends a NO vote against Measure G.
Here's why:
When school boards ask voters to go into debt with bond measures like Measure G, what are they saying? They want to borrow money, in part, to pay for the following:
1. "To provide clean, safe, and well maintained facilities"
2. "Upgrade and replace computers"
3. "Repair leaky roofs"
4. "Upgrade technology infrastructure"
If we want our houses cleaned, do we take out a 25 year loan to hire a cleaning service?
No? But, that's what the San Benito High School District is asking us to approve.
If we want to buy a laptop computer, do we take out a 25 year loan to pay for it?
No? But, that's what the San Benito High School District is asking us to approve.
If our roof needs a leak fixed, do we take out a 25 year loan to pay for it?
No? But, that's what the San Benito High School District is asking you to approve.
If you wanted to upgrade your home computer network, do you take out a 25 year loan to hire an expert to do that?
No? But, that's what the San Benito High School District is asking you to approve.
No sane person would do such things. And at a cost that could exceed $14,579 per student -- NOT counting interest expense.
This is irresponsible behavior. Don't reward bad behavior! Vote NO on Measure G.
Let's teach the San Benito High School Board to be more responsible by voting NO on Measure J.
VOTE NO
on
MEASURE G!
