Many Poway citizens recently received a mailer from Poway Unified School District regarding how the district ought to prioritize funding for school improvements. The mailer announced that PUSD was considering placing a new local bond measure on the March 2020 ballot, hoping to generate $448 million to \u201crepair and improve local schools.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though the initiatives mentioned appeared wholesome at first glance, the proposed $448 million seems like a hefty sum, especially considering the fact that the district is already quite well-funded.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, bigger questions were raised under the headline of \u201cStrict Financial Accountability.\u201d The first claim vaguely suggested that oversight, independent audits, and a detailed project list would \u201censure the money is spent as promised.” But we\u2019ve heard this before\u2014vague explanations have been made by union-based organizations over seemingly \u201cneeded\u201d funds to exploit taxpayers in the past.<\/p>\n

Doing things \u201cfor the kids\u201d is always a surefire way for institutions to get money, and citizens should be mindful of this typical money grab when examining school-related bond measures. Nobody wants to watch schools go without the funding they need, but everyone should be aware of the difference between necessary and discretionary spending.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
