The District’s last bond issue was August 3, 2010. Also called Proposition S, the $155 million bond measure passed by nearly 75 percent. Funds were used to renovate schools, nearly half of which are 100 or more years old. Recognizing that school buildings require regular repair and maintenance, many districts build regular bond issues into their programs. Because of our size, SLPS has taken a different approach, taking more time to evaluate and consolidate buildings and calling for the measure when we have the capacity to run the projects smoothly and efficiently.
