Cerritos : Consultant to Survey Voter Stance on Bond or Tax Vote
The ABC Unified School District board has approved the hiring of a consultant firm to determine voter support for a bond or tax override for the 20,000-student system.
The board voted to hire Price Research Consultants of San Ramon for $16,000. The firm will conduct a six- to eight-month survey to determine if there is sufficient voter support for a bond or parcel tax.
If there is support, the district would ask for a special election early next year, Supt. Larry Lucas said. Lucas said the survey is the first stage in determining “the community’s willingness and ability to provide funding beyond the state’s support.”
The district is facing an estimated $2.5 million in cuts from its 1991-92 budget and must find ways to finance school programs and capital improvement projects, he said.
