Arguments
The Santa Fe New Mexican argued the bonds are, "a necessary investment in a school that allows young people to learn a trade while preparing for work or further education. Expansion would give more students the opportunity to graduate from high school with several semesters of higher education, saving time and money."[1]
Principal of Mandela International Magnet School Randy Grillo argued that with the bonds, "funding will become available to transform our school [Mandela International Magnet School, one of the schools named to receive funds from the bonds] and fully deliver the promise of the International Baccalaureate education to Santa Fe Public School students."[2]
