In the past, these monies have been used, for the most part, to fund construction projects, either fully or in part, which is mainly why districts like Coast seek bond measures since they do not receive additional monies from property taxes. I am not sure how much money there is currently in this SOCCCD account. I am sure it's possible to find out since this is public information. I also believe that these "excess" funds are not coming in as generously as in the past because of the economic downturn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-72649092881297763122012-12-10T21:15:11.273-08:002012-12-10T21:15:11.273-08:00Then why are the classrooms - some, not all but a ...Then why are the classrooms - some, not all but a goodly number of them, in such sad states?

I think it would be difficult to justify a bond measure under these circumstances.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-24110304700688236252012-12-10T07:17:49.390-08:002012-12-10T07:17:49.390-08:00In all my years here, the board has never put a bo...In all my years here, the board has never put a bond measure on the ballot.
