The Los Angeles Unified School District may ask voters to approve a $9 billion bond measure for school repairs and upgrades.
The Board of Education on Wednesday is expected to vote on whether to place that bond measure on the November ballot, LAist reports.
If approved, the funds would cost property owners about $25 per $100,000 of assessed value.
School officials have already designated how they’d spend the money, which would also unlock matching funds from the state allocated by its own $10 billion bond measure that will also appear on this fall’s ballot.
“By the district’s estimate, 50,000 HVAC units, 18 million square feet of roofs, and 2 million square feet of plumbing piping need replacing,” LAist reports. “Other priorities include enhancing accessibility for students with disabilities, better energy efficiency, and green space.
