San Jose Unified School District’s board of education called for a special board meeting Thursday night to determine the fate of a $1.2 million school facilities bond measure.
If the board approves the resolution, the measure will appear on the Nov. 5 ballot, where it will need support from 55% of local voters to pass.
The district said the money could go toward repairing existing facilities and providing affordable housing for teachers.
A $10 billion state school facilities bond for repairs and upgrades already is slated for the November ballot. If approved, K-12 schools across the state would receive $8.5 billion to improve school facilities and community colleges would receive $1.5 billion.
But “the district cannot rely on the state of California to fund school facility improvements,” the San Jose Unified resolution said.
The meeting will be held in the boardroom at 855 Lenzen Avenue at 5:30 p.m.
