"description": "MAYWOOD, CA - MAY 17: A worker takes a lunch break during construction of a new school May 17, 2006 in the Los Angeles-area city of Maywood, California. 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. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)",

"content": "\u003cp>The times may change, but Californians don't seem to do so when it comes to two things about K-12 public schools: a sense that they need money for construction and renovation, and a willingness to borrow the cash to make that happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest example: A new statewide poll that shows relatively strong support for a 2016 school construction bond, even as the idea continues to be quietly fought in Sacramento by Gov. Jerry Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/main/publication.asp?i=1149\" target=\"_blank\">Wednesday night's poll from the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California\u003c/a> finds 55 percent of likely voters support the general concept of a school bond on the November 2016 ballot. Broaden the sample size to all adults, and PPIC finds even more -- 66 percent -- who like the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our polling consistently shows that local school funding is the top priority,\" said Mark Baldassare, PPIC's president and pollster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The PPIC survey takes the collective California temperature on a number of education-related issues. But the school bond may be the most politically pressing, given the rollicking debate in Sacramento over the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a nutshell: The cupboard is bare when it comes to voter-approved state bonds for school construction and modernization projects. Legislators and education groups have been trying to get a new bond on the ballot, but have run smack into an evolving gubernatorial doctrine that calls for an end to statewide bonds for local school needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, the idea of a 2016 school bond has some legs, though it comes in just under the historical benchmark (60 percent) that most believe any ballot measure needs at the outset of a campaign if it's to be successful, the belief being that voters tend to lose -- not gain -- interest in propositions as Election Day nears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given how much talk there's been about how different \"likely voters\" are from the overall public, supporters of a 2016 school bond would certainly hope to grow the electorate; and with a presidential race on next November's ballot, that's certainly a possibility. Using that lens, the PPIC poll shows very few weak spots of support -- mainly more wealthy, white, older Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(And yes, they're the ones who traditionally vote more often … hence the lower support among likely voters in the survey.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what this new snapshot doesn't answer is whether the details matter -- the size of the bond, the kinds of construction and modernization projects. The poll simply asks about support for \"a bond measure on the ballot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think these are good numbers,\" said Joe Dixon of the Coalition for Adequate School Housing. And if anyone's watching the polls, it's Dixon and others in his group. They've been waiting for a new school bond. And waiting. And waiting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/01/23/showdown-looms-over-california-school-construction-needs/\" target=\"_blank\">quest for a new statewide school bond has been blocked before at the state Capitol by the governor\u003c/a>, who made it known in 2014 that he didn't want another bond competing alongside Proposition 1 (the $7.5 billion water bond). There was also a sense that too much borrowing -- that is, too much new state debt -- wasn't exactly what Brown wanted on his re-election ballot when he was touting his debt reduction efforts since 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As such, education groups have all but abandoned the Legislature (even though there's \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/15-16/bill/sen/sb_0101-0150/sb_114_bill_20150407_amended_sen_v97.htm\" target=\"_blank\">a bond measure bill that's pending\u003c/a>). They've drafted their own school bond initiative, \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/initiatives/pdfs/15-0005%20%28Education%20Bond%20Act%29.pdf?\" target=\"_blank\">a $9 billion proposal\u003c/a>, and are already gathering signatures to get it on the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is our go-to plan,\" said Dixon, an assistant superintendent of the Santa Ana Unified School District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Brown, his January budget suggested a rethinking of how to pay for school modernization and construction. But since raising the question, there's pretty much been dead silence. The governor largely suggested more reliance on local, not state, measures to boost schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those local efforts have had a lower success rate. Unlike the simple majority required on all statewide ballot measures, local school bonds require approval by 55 percent of the ballots cast -- a lower threshold than in the years before 2000, but still high enough to make them a harder sell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that makes the finding in PPIC's new poll -- 53 percent of likely voters would support a local school bond in their area -- not a great option for bond backers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For months, the question has been whether legislators and the governor would get behind a statewide school bond. Now that's a moot point; the political coalition gathering signatures (and it will have \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/12/11/fewest-votes-cast-for-governor-since-1978\" target=\"_blank\">to gather fewer signatures than at any time in more than three decades\u003c/a>) has already ponied up $2.4 million to get it in front of voters next fall. This poll suggests they're starting out with a reasonable shot of getting voters to say yes.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a nutshell: The cupboard is bare when it comes to voter-approved state bonds for school construction and modernization projects. Legislators and education groups have been trying to get a new bond on the ballot, but have run smack into an evolving gubernatorial doctrine that calls for an end to statewide bonds for local school needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, the idea of a 2016 school bond has some legs, though it comes in just under the historical benchmark (60 percent) that most believe any ballot measure needs at the outset of a campaign if it's to be successful, the belief being that voters tend to lose -- not gain -- interest in propositions as Election Day nears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given how much talk there's been about how different \"likely voters\" are from the overall public, supporters of a 2016 school bond would certainly hope to grow the electorate; and with a presidential race on next November's ballot, that's certainly a possibility. Using that lens, the PPIC poll shows very few weak spots of support -- mainly more wealthy, white, older Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(And yes, they're the ones who traditionally vote more often … hence the lower support among likely voters in the survey.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what this new snapshot doesn't answer is whether the details matter -- the size of the bond, the kinds of construction and modernization projects. The poll simply asks about support for \"a bond measure on the ballot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think these are good numbers,\" said Joe Dixon of the Coalition for Adequate School Housing. And if anyone's watching the polls, it's Dixon and others in his group. They've been waiting for a new school bond. And waiting. And waiting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/01/23/showdown-looms-over-california-school-construction-needs/\" target=\"_blank\">quest for a new statewide school bond has been blocked before at the state Capitol by the governor\u003c/a>, who made it known in 2014 that he didn't want another bond competing alongside Proposition 1 (the $7.5 billion water bond). There was also a sense that too much borrowing -- that is, too much new state debt -- wasn't exactly what Brown wanted on his re-election ballot when he was touting his debt reduction efforts since 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As such, education groups have all but abandoned the Legislature (even though there's \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/15-16/bill/sen/sb_0101-0150/sb_114_bill_20150407_amended_sen_v97.htm\" target=\"_blank\">a bond measure bill that's pending\u003c/a>). They've drafted their own school bond initiative, \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/initiatives/pdfs/15-0005%20%28Education%20Bond%20Act%29.pdf?\" target=\"_blank\">a $9 billion proposal\u003c/a>, and are already gathering signatures to get it on the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is our go-to plan,\" said Dixon, an assistant superintendent of the Santa Ana Unified School District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Brown, his January budget suggested a rethinking of how to pay for school modernization and construction. But since raising the question, there's pretty much been dead silence. The governor largely suggested more reliance on local, not state, measures to boost schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those local efforts have had a lower success rate. Unlike the simple majority required on all statewide ballot measures, local school bonds require approval by 55 percent of the ballots cast -- a lower threshold than in the years before 2000, but still high enough to make them a harder sell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that makes the finding in PPIC's new poll -- 53 percent of likely voters would support a local school bond in their area -- not a great option for bond backers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For months, the question has been whether legislators and the governor would get behind a statewide school bond. Now that's a moot point; the political coalition gathering signatures (and it will have \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/12/11/fewest-votes-cast-for-governor-since-1978\" target=\"_blank\">to gather fewer signatures than at any time in more than three decades\u003c/a>) has already ponied up $2.4 million to get it in front of voters next fall. This poll suggests they're starting out with a reasonable shot of getting voters to say yes.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

While historical data show about 80 percent of local school bonds pass, Dixon said those local ballot measures aren't spread out among the schools with the most need for building and improving their facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's uneven,\" said Dixon. \"There are 1,000 school districts.

A total of $52.68 billion for school construction needs was approved by voters over a quarter-century, the most recent bond being approved in 2006.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that was it, and the well is now dry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/187519264&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/187519264'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is currently no bond authority remaining in the state's core school facilities new construction and modernization programs,\" says the January state budget proposal by Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, though, is opposed to simply going back to the ballot. In late 2014, \u003ca href=\"http://www.independentnews.com/news/article_d11654de-1e59-11e4-be1f-0019bb2963f4.html\" target=\"_blank\">as legislators were crafting a new $9 billion school bond for the fall ballot\u003c/a>, the governor quietly squashed the plan before it ever reached a final vote in the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Observers wondered whether Brown, who had already agreed to a $7.5 billion water bond on the November ballot, simply didn't want any more borrowing proposals at the same time he was reminding voters of how he was leading state government into a more frugal future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the governor's budget proposes a lengthy \"dialogue on the future of school facilities funding,\" and one thing is clear: He no longer wants to borrow money on the state's credit card for construction and modernization needs at all California schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown's budget director, Michael Cohen, said earlier this month that the governor wants to limit state school bonds to only a portion of schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Leaving the state role at assisting those [school districts] who don't have the financial wherewithal to build the schools they need,\" said Cohen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor's goals, only broadly outlined in the budget he unveiled on Jan. 9, include some kind of \"means test\" that would push more responsibility to the local level -- including school bonds approved by local voters, which require a 55 percent vote to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know how he thinks that's going to make things better,\" responded Santa Ana USD's Dixon. While historical data show about 80 percent of local school bonds pass, Dixon said those local ballot measures aren't spread out among the schools with the most need for building and improving their facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's uneven,\" said Dixon. \"There are 1,000 school districts. There's a state role and a partnership to make sure that all kids in California have good school facilities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that's why the coalition that Dixon and others -- school officials and members of the state's building industry -- have formed is ready to bypass the state Capitol in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three days after Brown unveiled his budget with its call to rethink statewide school bonds, \u003ca href=\"http://laschoolreport.com/group-plans-9-billion-school-construction-bond-2016-ballot/\" target=\"_blank\">the Coalition for Adequate School Housing submitted a statewide ballot initiative for a $9 billion school bond in November 2016\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once cleared for signature-gathering, the group intends to move forward on its own -- a rare rejection of the normal process where legislators put bond measures on the ballot, and a move that could force Brown into the uncomfortable position of accepting something he doesn't want ... or provoking a fight with school officials and others who have often supported his policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're not letting off,\" said Dixon. \"We feel we have to go full speed ahead.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
