Official Sources of Information
Impartial Analysis from Lloyd W. Pellman, County Counsel
Approval of Measure S would authorize the Wiliam S. Hart Union High School District to issue $52,000,000 in general obligation bonds.

Funds received from the sale of the bonds would be used for the acquisition and improvement of real property, including constructing and acquiring additional schools, classrooms and facilities, rehabilitating junior high and high schools by replacing lighting, electrical, ventilation, plumbing systems and roofs, renovating classrooms, libraries, and making the District eligible for state funding. The District will appoint a Citizens Oversight Committee to guarantee funds are spent only on school improvements.

The bonds would be issued and sold at an interest rate not to exceed the legal maximum, and would be repaid over a period not to exceed forty (40) years by a property tax levied upon real property located within the District.

This measure requires a two-thirds (2/3) vote for passage.

Notice to Voters: Approval of Measure S does not guarantee that the proposed project or projects in the William S. Hart Union High School District that are the subject of bonds under Measure S will be funded beyond the local revenues generated by Measure S. The school district's proposal for the project or projects may assume the receipt of matching state funds, which could be subject to appropriation by the Legislature or approval of a statewide bond measure.
