In plain language
Measure CS is a Claremont Unified School District bond measure. A YES vote lets the district borrow $77,000,000. The money would repair aging classrooms. It would fix heating, air conditioning, electrical, and plumbing systems. It would improve safety and security, and repair leaky roofs. A NO vote means the district does not get this money. Property owners would pay about $32 per $100,000 of their property's value. That is about $5,000,000 a year while the bonds are paid off. The measure requires audits and independent oversight. It bars spending on inappropriate administrator salaries. All funds must stay local.
Fiscal impact
This allows $77,000,000 in bonds. It would add a tax of about $32 per $100,000 of assessed value. That is about $5,000,000 each year. It lasts while the bonds are outstanding.
