Until the district gets its act together it is absurd to vote yes. SFUSD has made it painfully clear they are incompetent. They should instead sell closed schools and underutilized properties. They could easily raise hundreds of $millions to fund facilities and teachers.
The school board’s budget is $1.28 billion for 2023-2024, and it’s running a $400K deficit. The board needs to live within its means. We’ve authorized $10 billion in bonds over the last decade. This will especially squeeze homeowners since the supervisors voted that the cost of new bonds cannot be passed on to tenants.
IIRC, half of it can be passed on.
Voted yes.
Fingers crossed maintenance and repair of existing assets will be prioritized over pet/prestige projects.
You can’t pay your bills and you’re still begging for more money
