Voters OK $50-Million Bond for Schools
Voters in the Pomona Unified School District have approved a $50-million bond issue to construct extra classrooms and rehabilitate existing campuses.
A year after rejecting a $35-million school bond issue, voters did an about-face Tuesday and approved a bigger bond measure that district officials say will aid them in reducing class size. It will also allow them to wire dozens of classrooms for computers and other technological aids, officials said.
Pomona Unified serves students in Pomona and Diamond Bar.
Bond supporters were aided by a much bigger turnout in Tuesday’s election compared to last June. About 28% of the 52,161 voters cast ballots Tuesday compared with only 11% last June.
