HistoryJune 2008, Primary School: Demolished some old buildings, leased portables, contractor skipped DSA approvals. I believe that there are modular classrooms sitting vacant because of approval issues. The needed buildings are:1. First grade classroom2. Computer Library3. Music / arts room4. Administration BuildingThey are currently looking at being able to fix the Primary school in 4 years. FundingCommunity Bond (2006) 15 Million Bond (prop 39) - tax up to $60 per $100,000 cap. because home/land prices have dropped there is less money to tax.Currently have issued $6 million and are maxed out for the time being.State Modernization / new construction funds - $650,000 (all from phone conversation, need to understand more clearly)
