Measure A school bond

Not opposed but warned the $256M bond will cost taxpayers $700M-$800M over its life and urged alternatives like pay-as-you-go and banning capital appreciation bonds.

Supported the bond: aging plumbing, HVAC, and labs need fixing and 'it comes down to supporting the kids.'

Opposed: already pays $848/year on the current bond, questions district staffing and maintenance, and wants answers before the city endorses a new tax.

Opposed: twelve extra assessments on his tax bill, questions where past school money went, and asked the city to wait for answers.

Supported the bond — 'you get what you pay for' — citing presentations on critical infrastructure needs like plumbing, HVAC, and science labs.

Opposed: tired of repeated tax requests and believes money is mismanaged.

Will pay these taxes for years and fully supports the bond — kids are the future and building costs keep rising.

Asked who pays for out-of-district transfer students (~20%) and noted renters will also bear the cost through rent increases.

No kids but supports the bond — investing in schools is investing in the community's future; aging facilities hurt learning.

Asked who will hold the district accountable for spending the bond money.
