In an op-ed published on October 20, 2006, the Daily Review endorsed Measure B, the $109 million school facilities bond that appears on the November ballot.
From the op-ed:
It's true that money can't solve every problem, but it's the only answer to this one. Most San Leandro school buildings are between 50 and 90 years old and they simply must be upgraded or replaced. Meanwhile, state law forbids lottery funds from being used for school construction.
It doesn't make sense to punish future students for the perceived past sins of the district.Posted by mike at October 24, 2006 10:33 PM | TrackBack
