statement likely AICommittee: Alejandro C. Cruz
Eastmont students need schools that are safe, functional, and ready for learning. Vote yes on the November 3 bond to rebuild Kenroy, Lee, and Cascade elementary schools, which are aging, overcrowded, and increasingly expensive to maintain. The bond would replace 15 portables with permanent classrooms, create secure entrances and interior hallways, eliminate 162 exterior classroom doors, and improve bus and parent pick-up areas away from busy streets. It would also fund maintenance and repair projects in schools across the district, replacing aging and inefficient building systems before failures become more costly and disruptive. This community-developed plan focuses on Eastmont’s highest-priority facility needs and ensures our students have safe, healthy schools. Approval would qualify Eastmont for approximately $25 million in state construction assistance, reducing the amount funded locally. Strong schools build strong communities. Please join families, educators, and neighbors in voting yes by November 3!
