In plain language
Measure B is a school bond for Rio Elementary School District. A YES vote lets the district borrow $78 million. The money would make safety and security improvements at all schools. It would upgrade classrooms and restrooms, and replace leaky roofs. It would also build libraries and classrooms, and fix plumbing and electrical systems. None of the money can be used for salaries. It requires annual audits and independent oversight. A NO vote means the district does not get this money for these projects.
