OUSD
Board to vote on 3 facility Bond proposals for November ballot this Thursday
After
an extended community outreach, study and polling period, the Orange
Unified School Board of Trustees at their July 21, 2016 meeting will
be voting on three 2016 Bond proposals to be placed on the November
2016 ballot.
The five Agenda Items dealing with the 2016 Bonds are Action Items A-E, agenda pages 2-56.
The
proposals include a district-wide bond to cover the four
comprehensive high schools for up to $288,000,000 and two bonds that
break the district up into two School Facility Improvement Districts
( each with two of the four OUSD high schools). The individual
district bonds would each be for half the total of a district-wide
bond-$144,000,000.
If
the District-wide Bond is approved then passed by voters, it would
nullify the two School Facility Improvement Districts if they are
approved then passed by voters.
Polling
released at the last OUSD Meeting earlier this month showed the
School Facility Improvement Districts would have a harder time
passing than a district-wide bond.
The
OUSD Administration and community support groups have applied lessons
learned from other Bond defeats toward this fourth try at improving
the aging Orange Unified facilities. Those lessons include extensive
community outreach and engagement leading up to approving a Bond for
the November 2016 Presidential election.
The
OUSD Bonds carry an assessment of $29 a year per $100,000 of assessed
value- the value on the tax rolls- not “resale” value. If the
house were on the tax rolls for $300,000 the yearly Bond assessment
would be $87 (3 x $29 )- NOT the tax on the resale value of $500,000
(5 x $29).
