This measure sought to create a bond in the amount of $120 million in order to purchase new technology for classrooms, improve security in the schools as well as upgrading facilities as needed in the district.[2] Budget shortfalls were expected and school officials said they expected residents would see those needs and approve the measure.[3] At the time the measure was voted on the district had cut $12 million from its budget and was looking to consolidate schools to further cut costs. If the bond was approved, all 51 schools in the district would see a portion of the extra money.[4]
