Quick Summary / Abstract:
|
Staff is bringing a recommendation forward for our Board of Trustees to approve Resolution No. 037-21/22, In Support of Assembly Bill (AB) No. 75, Kindergarten-Community Colleges Public Education Facilities Bond Act of 2022.
|
|
Background:
|
In 2016, California voters passed a statewide School Bond (Proposition 51). Funds from Proposition 51 are currently fully reserved. As a result of over subscription, the Office of Public School Construction created a 'Wait List.'
Presently there are over $3 billion dollars worth of modernization and new construction projects applications on the 'Wait List' awaiting matching funds. AB 75 will put on the ballot in 2022 another statewide school facility bond worth $12 billion dollars in general obligation bonds to fund projects on the 'Wait List' and future needs.
If passed by the voters, AB 75 will continue funding one of the most successful School Facility Infrastructure Programs in the country that began in 1998. Specifically, this bond will allocate much needed matching funds for:
- New Construction
- Modernization
- Replacement of Facilities older than 75 years
- Remediation of Lead in Water
- Career Technical Education (CTE) programs
- Supplemental Grant for expansion of core facilities that are too small
- Infrastructure upgrades for expanded broadband
- Interim Housing Assistance during disasters
- Assistance for Small School Districts
Please see the attached AB 75 Fact Sheet for more information.
