$378 million schools bond on ballot

Moments after the Palo Alto School Board unanimously voted to place a $378 million facilities improvement bond on the June ballot, a team of residents announced an organized campaign to support it.

The School District will waste the money as they did in the last bond issue. I have seen it with my own eyes!

This has to pass first, and I am not sure it will.

As a parent who voted for the 1995 bond, at the tune of I think 93 million, how can the school now need 378 million? I would vote for it again, the price of a house in Palo Alto should just show a line item of "what it costs to send my kid to school"

Even then the newbie parents are shocked at how much they are expected to "donate" out of pocket to the local school. At least they are both tax deductable!

We should have a full accounting of what happended to the last bond issue before we contemplate another one. I wager it will show that our school administrators are not good shepherds of our tax money and should not be given more.
