If this measure passes, the San Bernardino and Los Angeles County Boards of Supervisors would be required to annually levy a tax upon the property in the District sufficient to pay the principal and interest on any outstanding bonds of the school district as the principal and interest becomes due. This tax would be in addition to the one percent (1%) property tax provided for under current law. If less than fifty-five percent (55%) of the voters voting on this measure vote yes, the Board of Education of the District will not be authorized to issue and sell the $108,000,000 of bonds set forth in the measure. Following a successful election, the Board of Education has a limited period of time in which it must set up a citizens' oversight committee ("Committee"), which is responsible for insuring that the Board of Education spends the money from the bond issue only on the specific school facilities projects listed in the full text of the measure and approved by the Board of Education. The Committee will make at least annual reports to the taxpayers. No District officials or employees may sit on the Committee. No bond funds from this measure may be expended to support the activities of the Committee. In addition, the District would be required to conduct annual financial and performance audits as to the use of the bond funds. This measure will not have any effect on existing law.
s/Daniel B. Haueter Pursuant to Education Code Section 15122.5 "Approval of Measure I does not guarantee that the proposed projects in the Snowline Joint Unified School District that are the subject of bonds under Measure I will be funded beyond the local revenues generated by Measure I. The school district's proposal for the projects may assume the receipt of matching state funds, which could be subject to appropriation by the legislature or approval of a statewide bond measure."

Arguments For Measure I |
The children of Phelan, Wrightwood, Oak Hills, Baldy Mesa and Pinon Hills need your help. VOTING YES on Measure I will ensure a safe, secure learning environment and protect the quality of education in Snowline schools.
In 2001 enrollment in Snowline schools was less than 7,000 students. Within 4 years enrollment in our schools will climb to over 14,000. New classrooms and schools are needed to relieve overcrowding and keep class sizes small. School teachers agree that small class sizes improve a child's ability to learn. Meanwhile, existing schools are aging and some need significant rehabilitation. Phelan and Wrightwood Elementary Schools were originally constructed in 1930. Deteriorated roofs, plumbing, heating, and ventilating systems in some schools need attention. Safety and security upgrades are needed and all schools require ongoing technology upgrades. Measure I will:
Passage of Measure I will qualify our community for millions of dollars in State matching funds, further leveraging local taxpayer dollars. An independent Citizens Oversight Committee will ensure funds are spent properly. Measure I is a smart investment. Good, safe schools enhance property values. Teachers, parents, senior citizens, business owners and citizens throughout our community support Measure I. Please vote YES.
