LAUSD Measure RR ends dry spell in raising taxes for schools |
|
Los Angeles school officials on Tuesday revived an irresistible formula from the past in winning passage of Measure RR, a $7-billion bond to modernize campuses in California’s largest school system. The formula is: Find a presidential election in which motivated Democrats turn out in large numbers. It worked in 2008 when Angelenos amassed to put Barack Obama in the White House. And it worked in 2020, when Angelenos cast votes en masse, most hoping to remove President Trump.

How much support did school bonds get from Clovis, Fresno voters in the election? |
|
Although voters must wait to see final election results in the coming days, it appears that most Fresno County voters favored approving school bond measures. Over the years, school districts across the central San Joaquin Valley have leveraged bonds to invest and renovate facilities. Bond measures need at least 55% voter approval to pass, and the three largest school districts in Fresno County with bonds on the ballot had surpassed that with more than half of votes counted as of Wednesday morning.

For many students in California, that’s what physical education class looks like these days. Since campuses closed in March, P.E. teachers are scrambling for creative ways to keep students physically active — with no gymnasiums, sports fields or playgrounds — at a time when experts say students’ physical and mental health is paramount.
