In plain language
Measure S is a Charter Oak Unified School District bond measure. A YES vote lets the district borrow $75,000,000. The money would repair and upgrade classrooms, science labs, and technology. It would fix roofs, plumbing, and electrical systems. It would also remove asbestos and lead pipes. A NO vote means the district does not get this money. Property owners would pay $40 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 independent oversight and audits. The money must stay local.
Fiscal impact
This allows $75,000,000 in bonds. It would add a tax of $40 per $100,000 of assessed value. That is about $5,000,000 each year. It lasts while the bonds are outstanding.
