Impartial analysis

The following impartial analysis was prepared for Measure Q:

“	This measure seeks voter approval for the issuance and sale of bonds in the amount of Five Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,500,000) to repair, upgrade, improve and better equip classrooms and facilities. The bonds will bear an interest rate within the limits authorized by law. This measure includes the accountability requirements set forth in the Constitution and Education Code. This measure shall become effective only upon the affirmative vote of fifty-five percent (55%) of those electors voting on the measure. Pursuant to Elections Code Sections 9400 et seq., the District has prepared a Tax Rate Statement which estimates the property tax levies required to pay off the bonds. The information provided is based on the District’s projections and estimates and are not binding on the District. Proceeds from the sale of the bonds authorized by this proposition, if passed, shall not be used for teacher and administrator salaries and other operating expenses. A YES vote will authorize the issuance and sale of bonds for said purposes. A NO vote will disallow the issuance and sale of bonds for said purposes.	”
