Before
Proposition MM
In the
late
1990s, San Diego City Schools undertook the largest review of school
facilities
in the district's history. It revealed that our neighborhood schools
were
desperately in need of $4 billion of repairs, renovations and
replacement.
Roofs were leaking. Pipes were bursting. Classrooms lacked the
necessary
electrical outlets to operate today's technology, and schools lacked
adequate
science labs and libraries. Almost every school lacked sufficient
classroom
space. The photos below represent scenes typical at San Diego City
Schools.
(Click on each photo for an enlarged view.)
Proposition
MM provides $1.51 billion toward the $4 billion of needed repairs and
upgrades.
It funds modernization of 161 existing schools and construction of 12
new and three rebuilt
schools to support student achievement.
