In November, voters, angered that city police were stopping and seizing hundreds of cars whose unlicensed drivers frequently turned out to be illegal immigrants, elected a new majority on the city council. The new council majority promptly voted to eliminate the police department's traffic division, resulting in car impoundments dropping from 240 a month to 40. The city in January also officially opposed a proposed federal law that would have criminalized illegal immigration and forced local police to enforce immigration law. Approximately 96 percent of the city's 29,000 residents is Latino, with an additional 10,000 illegal residents living within city limits, according to estimates.

But the problem starts with how the funding is divided among projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One-third of the $9 billion bond’s proceeds will support new construction, another third will finance modernization projects and the rest of it will go to career technical education, charter school and community college buildings. That mix may sound reasonable. But when the state created the School Facility Program in 1998, California’s population was booming and new school construction was needed to keep pace. By contrast, public school enrollment over the next decade is projected to dip slightly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There will be some new construction needs. Some counties are growing,” said Vincent. “But to suggest that we should spend as much on new construction as we spend on modernization is out of skew with our needs on the ground. Demand for upgrades is far greater.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next problem is how the money is awarded. Districts applying to the state must provide matching funds, giving wealthier communities an advantage because they can tap a deeper well of local taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Hanford Elementary School District, which serves a small farming town in the Central Valley, the wish list includes replacing old electrical wiring in schools that are more than half a century old, improving students’ access to computers and getting some new fire alarms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anticipating voter approval of Proposition 51, Hanford was one of nearly 200 districts across the state that used the November ballot to also seek voter approval of local school bonds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s $24 million bond passed, but Hanford will never qualify for as much state support as the Campbell Union School District, located in the heart of Silicon Valley. Voters there approved a $72 million bond, which could mean three times as much state matching money as Hanford — even though the districts serve about the same number of students in roughly the same number of buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This disparity isn’t fair to students from Hanford and other needy parts of the state, said Shin Green, an Oakland-based consultant whose firm specializes in school infrastructure financing. “We don’t know where the next doctor or physicist or inventor will come from,” Green said. “Substantial differences in the quality of our facilities mean substantial differences in our kids’ opportunities to learn. And that strikes me as wrong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Poor districts incapable of raising money locally through bonds or developer fees — which communities charge to help pay for new school construction — may ask the state to cover a project’s full cost. But few are familiar enough with the application process to make it work in their favor, Green said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Districts trying to get the septic system fixed or get that bus alternator replaced may not even know who in Sacramento to call for help,” Green said. “I’ve run across districts that assume they can’t get any money and don’t bother applying.”[subscription_form]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Proposition 51 drew support from a large, diverse coalition of interest groups and politicians, including the California Chamber of Commerce, the State Building and Construction Trades Council, and both the state Democratic and Republican parties. Proponents were eager to replenish California's fund for school construction, which ran dry four years ago after churning through $40 billion in bond money over the last two decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breaking with recent tradition, this year’s measure was sponsored by two groups that stand to benefit from an incoming wave of school and home building: the Coalition for Adequate School Housing, which promotes new school construction, and the California Building Industry Association, a trade group for developers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representatives from both organizations declined a CALmattters request for interviews about their motivations and the need for the bond. Had it failed, districts likely would have raised fees on developers to pay for school projects — either cutting into developers’ bottom lines or prompting them to raise home prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 51’s loudest critic was Gov. Jerry Brown, who called it “a blunderbuss” and said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times that the Legislature could have done a better job than “the developers who put that one together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early this year, Brown collaborated with legislative leaders on a much smaller $5 billion bond that would also have changed the way the state distributes the money, prioritizing projects that reduce overcrowding and protect students’ health and safety. But the developers who sponsored the measure refused to change anything about the existing program or even discuss how to improve it, state Department of Finance Director Michael Cohen noted in an October op-ed urging a no vote. “They insisted on the status quo,” he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, Chris Funk, who leads San Jose's East Side Union High School District, says he’s glad the measure passed because school systems such as his can’t wait any longer to get financing for repairs on old pipes, leaky roofs and broken air-conditioning systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Funk also rejected the governor’s criticism of the measure’s price tag, which the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office pegs at $17.6 billion to pay off both the bond’s principal and interest over the next 35 years — via payments of about $500 million annually. “Until the governor starts fully funding education and providing the right money for facilities, I would much rather perpetuate the current system,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucked into Proposition 51 is a key provision that voters likely glossed over: It prohibits the state from modifying the way it allocates school construction funding without another vote of the people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outgoing state Senate Education Committee Chairwoman Carol Liu, D-Glendale, said she opposed the bond, too, and wishes the Legislature could have done more to fix the problem. “We have lost an opportunity to reform a fragmented system of bond administration and disbursement that does not ensure that school districts and communities with the greatest need for new facilities receive funds,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org\" target=\"_blank\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit news venture devoted to coverage of state policy and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Voter-approved Proposition 51 was placed on the ballot not by elected lawmakers, but by developers looking out for their own interests.

But the problem starts with how the funding is divided among projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One-third of the $9 billion bond’s proceeds will support new construction, another third will finance modernization projects and the rest of it will go to career technical education, charter school and community college buildings. That mix may sound reasonable. But when the state created the School Facility Program in 1998, California’s population was booming and new school construction was needed to keep pace. By contrast, public school enrollment over the next decade is projected to dip slightly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There will be some new construction needs. Some counties are growing,” said Vincent. “But to suggest that we should spend as much on new construction as we spend on modernization is out of skew with our needs on the ground. Demand for upgrades is far greater.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next problem is how the money is awarded. Districts applying to the state must provide matching funds, giving wealthier communities an advantage because they can tap a deeper well of local taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Hanford Elementary School District, which serves a small farming town in the Central Valley, the wish list includes replacing old electrical wiring in schools that are more than half a century old, improving students’ access to computers and getting some new fire alarms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anticipating voter approval of Proposition 51, Hanford was one of nearly 200 districts across the state that used the November ballot to also seek voter approval of local school bonds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s $24 million bond passed, but Hanford will never qualify for as much state support as the Campbell Union School District, located in the heart of Silicon Valley. Voters there approved a $72 million bond, which could mean three times as much state matching money as Hanford — even though the districts serve about the same number of students in roughly the same number of buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This disparity isn’t fair to students from Hanford and other needy parts of the state, said Shin Green, an Oakland-based consultant whose firm specializes in school infrastructure financing. “We don’t know where the next doctor or physicist or inventor will come from,” Green said. “Substantial differences in the quality of our facilities mean substantial differences in our kids’ opportunities to learn. And that strikes me as wrong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Poor districts incapable of raising money locally through bonds or developer fees — which communities charge to help pay for new school construction — may ask the state to cover a project’s full cost. But few are familiar enough with the application process to make it work in their favor, Green said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Districts trying to get the septic system fixed or get that bus alternator replaced may not even know who in Sacramento to call for help,” Green said. “I’ve run across districts that assume they can’t get any money and don’t bother applying.”[subscription_form]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Proposition 51 drew support from a large, diverse coalition of interest groups and politicians, including the California Chamber of Commerce, the State Building and Construction Trades Council, and both the state Democratic and Republican parties. Proponents were eager to replenish California's fund for school construction, which ran dry four years ago after churning through $40 billion in bond money over the last two decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breaking with recent tradition, this year’s measure was sponsored by two groups that stand to benefit from an incoming wave of school and home building: the Coalition for Adequate School Housing, which promotes new school construction, and the California Building Industry Association, a trade group for developers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representatives from both organizations declined a CALmattters request for interviews about their motivations and the need for the bond. Had it failed, districts likely would have raised fees on developers to pay for school projects — either cutting into developers’ bottom lines or prompting them to raise home prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 51’s loudest critic was Gov. Jerry Brown, who called it “a blunderbuss” and said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times that the Legislature could have done a better job than “the developers who put that one together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early this year, Brown collaborated with legislative leaders on a much smaller $5 billion bond that would also have changed the way the state distributes the money, prioritizing projects that reduce overcrowding and protect students’ health and safety. But the developers who sponsored the measure refused to change anything about the existing program or even discuss how to improve it, state Department of Finance Director Michael Cohen noted in an October op-ed urging a no vote. “They insisted on the status quo,” he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, Chris Funk, who leads San Jose's East Side Union High School District, says he’s glad the measure passed because school systems such as his can’t wait any longer to get financing for repairs on old pipes, leaky roofs and broken air-conditioning systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Funk also rejected the governor’s criticism of the measure’s price tag, which the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office pegs at $17.6 billion to pay off both the bond’s principal and interest over the next 35 years — via payments of about $500 million annually. “Until the governor starts fully funding education and providing the right money for facilities, I would much rather perpetuate the current system,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucked into Proposition 51 is a key provision that voters likely glossed over: It prohibits the state from modifying the way it allocates school construction funding without another vote of the people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outgoing state Senate Education Committee Chairwoman Carol Liu, D-Glendale, said she opposed the bond, too, and wishes the Legislature could have done more to fix the problem. “We have lost an opportunity to reform a fragmented system of bond administration and disbursement that does not ensure that school districts and communities with the greatest need for new facilities receive funds,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org\" target=\"_blank\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit news venture devoted to coverage of state policy and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11194927/school-building-bonanza-but-new-dollars-might-not-reach-poor-districts","authors":["byline_news_11194927"],"programs":["news_72"],"categories":["news_18540","news_13"],"tags":["news_19909","news_20155","news_4961","news_17286"],"affiliates":["news_18481"],"featImg":"news_11194931","label":"source_news_11194927"},"news_11159844":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11159844","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11159844","score":null,"sort":[1478671839000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"voters-embrace-bilingual-education-in-prop-58-victory","title":"Voters Embrace Bilingual Education, Extend Taxes in Prop. 58 and 55 Victories","publishDate":1478671839,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Election 2016 | The California Report | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":72,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>California has made a huge about-face when it comes to bilingual education in public schools, approving \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/proposition-58/\" target=\"_blank\">Proposition 58\u003c/a>.

The permanent classrooms are eligible for special funding that the temporary buildings don't qualify for. All of this creates an equity problem, he said. Some kids get to learn in quiet rooms, others don't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If approved, Proposition 51 will authorize $9 billion in general obligation bonds for new construction and improvement projects at K-12 schools, community colleges and vocational and charter schools.

Several schools in the district are more than 50 years old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So if we get another $10 million because of Prop. 51, we’re so excited,\" he said as he talked over the plane noise. \"It doesn’t meet all of our needs, but it certainly helps our students so much.

He's been appearing at events around California in support of the measure. Relying entirely on local districts for facility funding, according to Torlakson, takes away from money that can be spent directly on learning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's been a tradition of state partnership with local school districts that goes back decades, so the state has always been a partner,\" he said. \"It's worked.

Proposition 51 would prevent changes to the fee structure they pay when they build new housing developments that need schools, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 51 opponents also argue that larger, more organized school districts will be first in line to dip into the pot since, unlike some smaller districts, they have the staff to speedily apply for the funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents like Marshall also want to see school districts use local sources of funding rather than new state bond money to build and improve schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think that by providing new construction money, you’re going to encourage schools to build buildings that they don’t need,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the state, more than 100 school districts, including Lennox, have placed local bond measures on the November ballot. Many hope to raise matching funds to take advantage of Proposition 51, if it passes, since some local share is usually required.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although many districts have real needs, Proposition 51 would come at a price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Felton Elementary, school officials are hoping a day will come when all students can learn in quiet classrooms free of the noise from the airplanes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Jade and other third-graders will be well into their 40s by the time the state pays off the bonds in about 2053.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/cacounts/\">California Counts\u003c/a> is a collaboration of KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio to report on the 2016 election.

The permanent classrooms are eligible for special funding that the temporary buildings don't qualify for. All of this creates an equity problem, he said. Some kids get to learn in quiet rooms, others don't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If approved, Proposition 51 will authorize $9 billion in general obligation bonds for new construction and improvement projects at K-12 schools, community colleges and vocational and charter schools. For Taylor, that means replacing portable buildings with permanent ones and upgrading his district's aging school infrastructure. Several schools in the district are more than 50 years old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So if we get another $10 million because of Prop. 51, we’re so excited,\" he said as he talked over the plane noise. \"It doesn’t meet all of our needs, but it certainly helps our students so much. So we’re encouraging the voters: please think about our kids.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The school's principal, Norma Martinez, said kids in more affluent communities don't have to deal with portables at their schools as frequently as those in less affluent areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's definitely a concern for me,\" she said. \"I would prefer that all kids have equal access.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 51 has an army of supporters — many with deep pockets, like well-known housing developers such as Brookfield, KB Home and Shea Homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson is among the measure's backers. He's been appearing at events around California in support of the measure. Relying entirely on local districts for facility funding, according to Torlakson, takes away from money that can be spent directly on learning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's been a tradition of state partnership with local school districts that goes back decades, so the state has always been a partner,\" he said. \"It's worked. The state should step up.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all, more than $11 million has been raised in support of the bond measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[http_redir]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe frameborder=\"no\" height=\"555px\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"http://162.243.135.6/elections/latest/measure-finance/proposition-51/index.html\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the measure also has high-profile opposition, notably from California Gov.

Rick Marshall, with the California Taxpayers Action Network, helped write the arguments against the measure in the \u003ca href=\"http://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/\">state’s voter information guide\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"All this does is add to the state debt,\" Marshall said. \"And it brings a one-size-fits-all program to school districts, when you have local bond money the locals decide what to do with it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If it passes, according to Marshall, developers will benefit. Proposition 51 would prevent changes to the fee structure they pay when they build new housing developments that need schools, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 51 opponents also argue that larger, more organized school districts will be first in line to dip into the pot since, unlike some smaller districts, they have the staff to speedily apply for the funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents like Marshall also want to see school districts use local sources of funding rather than new state bond money to build and improve schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think that by providing new construction money, you’re going to encourage schools to build buildings that they don’t need,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the state, more than 100 school districts, including Lennox, have placed local bond measures on the November ballot. Many hope to raise matching funds to take advantage of Proposition 51, if it passes, since some local share is usually required.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although many districts have real needs, Proposition 51 would come at a price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Felton Elementary, school officials are hoping a day will come when all students can learn in quiet classrooms free of the noise from the airplanes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Jade and other third-graders will be well into their 40s by the time the state pays off the bonds in about 2053.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/cacounts/\">California Counts\u003c/a> is a collaboration of KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio to report on the 2016 election.

And Proposition 56, a proposed $2-a-pack tax on cigarettes and other tobacco products, is enjoying 56 support despite heavy campaigning against the measure by the tobacco industry, which has poured more than $70 million into defeating the initiative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldassare said the strong support for both measures seems to reflect the politics of the time: People are happy to tax the wealthy, and are concerned about health care costs. Proposition 56 revenues would largely be spent on health care programs for low-income Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's so many concerns about funding health care today, every place you turn there are questions about it. ...

But Sanchez has also apparently failed to make inroads among the Republican and independent voters she would have needed to make a real stand against Harris, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'When you're voting for U.S. Senate, you're also thinking about your party’s control of Congress.' \u003ccite>PPIC President Mark Baldassare\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>PPIC found Harris leading Sanchez 42 to 20 percent, with the margin growing to 27 points in Harris' favor -- 51 to 24 percent -- when you exclude the likely voters who say they won't weigh in on the contest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while right-leaning voters may sit out this race, Baldassare cautioned against assuming that Republicans and more conservative independent voters will sit out future races with two Democrats on the ticket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it’s a U.S. senator it's different than it might be for a race for governor or lieutenant governor or controller or treasurer -- because when you're voting for U.S. Senate, you're also thinking about your party’s control of Congress,\" he said, noting that 84 percent of Republicans told PPIC they want the GOP to control Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The survey also looked at four of the 17 statewide ballot measures facing voters this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps most surprising, Baldassare said, support for Proposition 51, the proposed $9 billion school bond, is hovering around 46 percent with just 12 percent undecided.

Proposition 55 --which would extend income tax hikes on individual Californians making more than $250,000 a year and couples making more than $500,000 -- is sitting pretty with 59 percent support. And Proposition 56, a proposed $2-a-pack tax on cigarettes and other tobacco products, is enjoying 56 support despite heavy campaigning against the measure by the tobacco industry, which has poured more than $70 million into defeating the initiative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldassare said the strong support for both measures seems to reflect the politics of the time: People are happy to tax the wealthy, and are concerned about health care costs.
