A massive, $1 billion school bond initially slated for the March 2024 ballot has now been tentatively bumped to November. If and when it formally makes the ballot, it will be voters' first look at a school bond since 2016.
District 10 Supervisor Shamann Walton says that, without more assurances that the district won't shutter schools in his district, he will not back it. Rudy Gonzalez, the secretary-treasurer of San Francisco Building Trades, said he too was skeptical, calling the district's billion-dollar proposal vague.
The school bond, which would allow the district to borrow between $950 million and $1.2 billion, would be used for facilities modernization, student nutrition, enhanced school security, and improved technology, among other improvements, according to the district.
