L.A. district puts $7 billion bond plan on November ballot
The Los Angeles school bard has voted to place a $7 billion bond proposal on the November ballot. It would be the largest local school bond ever and would allow officials to tax property owners for building and repairing schools for the next 10 years. This bond contains a wide-ranging wish list of possible expenditures that backers say would create state-of-the-art "small" schools with the potential to improve graduation rates and test scores.
