Accountability is the centerpiece of the initiative.
All local school bonds, under the provisions of our measure, must include a list of specific projects which would be completed with the funds. In addition, an annual audit will be required for every project until all funds have been expended. The initiative expressly prohibits the use of bond proceeds for administrative salaries or other administrative costs. Before submitting a bond request to the voters, the school board must conduct an analysis to determine the needs in the areas of class size reduction, technology, and school safety. The initiative also ensures that funds will be shared equally among all public school pupils, including those who attend public charter schools.
