Arguments For Measure GG

Everyone knows the importance and value of having quality schools. From higher achieving students, to training for future jobs, to greater neighborhood safety and improved property values, quality schools do make a difference. However, because the State continues to reduce funding for public education, we need to do more to improve the quality of education at our local schools. This is why our students need your YES vote on Measure GG. Although our schools have been well maintained over the years, our classrooms are outdated. The average age of our schools is 65 years old and Kelso Elementary, the District's oldest school, was first built over 85 years ago! By investing in our schools, we can meet today's safety, technological, and educational standards as well as improve our community. Measure GG will also make our schools more energy efficient, allowing the District to use money saved on utility costs and put it in the classrooms. Measure GG will improve Inglewood schools by: Repairing/replacing leaky roofs and inadequate electrical and plumbing systems Constructing new science and computer labs and replacing portable classrooms with permanent classrooms Improving student access to computers and modern technology Making energy efficiency and health and safety improvements Measure GG makes financial sense and protects taxpayers. All funds must be spent locally and cannot be taken by the State. Measure GG will qualify the District to receive $20 million in state grants. By law, spending must be reviewed and annually audited by an independent citizens' oversight committee. Funds can only be spent to improve schools, not for teacher or administrator salaries. Measure GG upgrades and renovates inadequate classrooms, improves the education of local children, and maintains the quality of our community. That's something we can all support. Please join us and VOTE YES ON MEASURE GG! D'ARTAGNAN SCORZA Executive Director, Social Justice Learning Institute MAXINE TOLER Housing Commissioner - City of Inglewood JAMES H. BURT Pres.

Tax Rate Statement from GARY MCHENRY, Superintendent, Inglewood Unified School District

An election will be held in the Inglewood Unified School District (the "District") on November 6, 2012 to authorize the sale of $90,000,000 in general obligation bonds. The following information is submitted in compliance with Sections 9400-9404 of the California Elections Code. The best estimate of the tax rate that would be required to fund this bond issue during the first fiscal year after the sale of the first series of bonds, based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement, is $.0440 per $100 ($44.00 per $100,000) of assessed valuation in fiscal year 2013-14. The best estimate of the tax rate that would be required to fund this bond issue during the first fiscal year after the sale of the last series of bonds, based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement, is $.0440 per $100 ($44.00 per $100,000) of assessed valuation in fiscal year 2019-20. The best estimate of the highest tax rate that would be required to fund this bond issue, based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing this statement, is $.0440 per $100 ($44.00 per $100,000) of assessed valuation. These estimates are based on projections derived from information obtained from official sources. The actual tax rates and the years in which they will apply may vary depending on the timing of bond sales, the amount of bonds sold at each sale and actual increases in assessed valuations. The timing of the bond sales and the amount of bonds sold at any given time will be determined by the needs of the District. Actual assessed valuations will depend upon the amount and value of taxable property within the District as determined in the assessment and the equalization process. Dated: August 8, 2012
