Proposition 1D: The Public Education Facilities Bond Act

Proposition 1D on next month's ballot would authorize $10.4 billion in bonds for public schools, community colleges, UC and Cal-State campuses. It was put on the ballot by Governor Schwarzenegger and the legislature to relieve overcrowding by building new schools and repairing older ones. It also provides for earthquake safety and facilities for vocational education and research into energy efficiency.
