Gov Brown AGAINST school construction bond

Governor Brown has come out against the school construction bond on November's ballot.  He says ""It's a blunderbuss effort that promotes sprawl and squanders money...."  The construction industry wins out.  ( http://www.latimes.com/local/education/la-me-pol-sac-jerry-brown-school-bond-20160212-story.html )

We should not be comparing our buildings to the buildings at Arcadia HS and Monrovia HS.  Instead, we should be comparing how many of our graduates go to elite colleges and have meaningful careers.  We should not be trying to win the "State School Beautification Award."

What will the extra tax get us if our district is already ranked top in the State as we have been told so often when measures are published?

What "Our Children Deserve" is, for example, academic counseling so parents don't have to hire outside counselors to get a child into the UC system.

What "Our Children Deserve" is to have the HS library open during finals week because the librarian had a family emergency and we did not get a substitute librarian to fill in.  Would the HS cancel an English, Biology or Math final because the teacher was out during finals week? Our Parcel Tax info says it will keep the libraries open.

NO MORE SCHOOL RELATED TAXES.  There are many ways to save 10-15% of our existing budget but it is easier to pass parcel taxes using the fear of declining property values and lower school performance. 

Our buildings are just fine and have made SMUSD one of the top performing districts in the State.
