San Gabriel Valley : SCHOOL BONDS
- Share via
South Pasadena’s school board has placed on the Nov. 7 ballot a $28.7-million bond issue that would pay for campus repairs.
The measure would require at least two-thirds voter approval. If it passes, property owners would pay an extra $62 a year in property taxes for every $100,000 in assessed value.
The money would go to dozens of repairs in the South Pasadena Unified School District that were recommended by a task force in November, including maintenance to meet earthquake and building codes.
