“Prop 51 gives every school district equal access to state funding grants to help create quality learning environments for every student. Passing Prop 51 means that San Diego will get its share of state funds for our children’s educational needs – whether it’s fixing older schools to make them safer for today’s kids, replacing temporary portable classrooms, or building new schools to help relieve overcrowding. San Diego County has millions in backlogged school facility project grant funds that have been approved by the state. Our students deserve the funds that have been promised,” said Mayor Faulconer. Today, the Yes on Proposition 51 campaign announced that San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer has endorsed the state school facilities bond on the November ballot. Prop 51 will provide $9 billion in new bonding authority to help districts bring school facilities up to basic and health safety standards, complete major renovations to aging facilities like seismic retrofits and the removal of hazardous material like asbestos or lead pipes, and build new schools where needed.
