Shoreline Unified School District trustees endorsed two education-related state ballot measures at their monthly meeting last month: Proposition 51, the issuing of $9 billion in bonds to fund facilities improvements and construction for K-12 schools, and Proposition 55, which would extend a 2012 personal income tax increase on incomes over $250,000 for 12 years to continue funding education and health care. The passage of Prop 51 would allow the district to apply for funds to improve its facilities. Superintendent Bob Raines told the Light that the district was recently assessed by a construction management company that cited roof work and the replacement of a relocatable building at the Bodega Bay School as some of the top improvement recommendations. “But we’re not putting our eggs in that basket by any sense,” Mr. Raines said. If the measure passes and the school district were to receive the funds, he said he plans to first invite the school community to discuss how the funds should be utilized before bringing out the hammer and nails. Prop 55 would also directly impact Shoreline—to the tune of around $100,000 a year. Bruce Abbot, chief business official for Shoreline, said the district is expected to close the books this year with a positive balance; however, without the extra funds provided by Prop 55, its finances next year would be flat, meaning expenses will just match revenues.
