Impartial Analysis from Raymond G. Fortner, Jr.
County Counsel
Approval of Measure E would authorize the Beverly Hills Unified School District (“District”) to issue general obligation bonds, in an amount not to exceed $334,000,000.

Funds received from the sale of the bonds shall be used for the specific purposes set forth in this Measure including modernizing school facilities; making structural seismic repairs; upgrading, repairing and reconstructing classrooms, infrastructure, multi-use, gyms, libraries, science and technology labs, roofing, plumbing, heating, ventilation and electrical systems. No funds may be used for teacher and administrator salaries or any other school operating expenses.

Independent performance and financial audits will be performed annually to ensure that the funds received from the sale of the bonds are expended as specified in the Measure. All bond expenditures will be monitored by an independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee to ensure that the funds are spent as specified.

The bonds shall mature and be paid no later than forty (40) years following their date of issuance. The highest tax rate for the bonds when combined with the existing bonds is estimated to be $49.71 annually per $100,000 of the taxable real property located within the District.

This Measure requires a fifty-five percent (55%) vote for passage.
