Arguments For Measure EE	Arguments Against Measure EE
Vote YES on Measure "EE"-Ensure our students are ready for college and 21st-century careers. Our schools have aging classrooms, deteriorating portables and lack updated equipment to train students for high tech skills. Additionally, many older schools are deteriorating due to age. They need repairs, renovations and safety upgrades to meet modern standards. Measure "EE" will upgrade job training and career tech classrooms, provide 21st-century technology, modernize aging classrooms and address urgent and essential repairs. Measure "EE" will: Ensure schools have the facilities to train students for careers in well-paying jobs of the future Construct/update career technical labs and technology to train students in skilled trades for today's competitive jobs Modernize old school buildings Improve security and safety in every school, including upgrading fire systems, lighting, fencing, locks and alarms Update science labs and improve classroom instructional technology Repair/upgrade rundown bathrooms Improve accessibility for disabled students Measure "EE" requires strict accountability: Every penny will benefit our schools and community-the money can't be taken by Sacramento By law, no money can be used for administrators' salaries Mandatory independent audits and a citizens' oversight committee will ensure funds are spent appropriately Measure "EE" will qualify our schools for state matching funds that will otherwise go to other districts We can't count on the State to provide funding - we need a local solution to generate local funds, under local control. We need to act now: it will be less expensive to upgrade and repair aging schools and classrooms now than in the future. Problems will only get worse and repairs will be more expensive to complete. By passing Measure "EE" now, we'll be near the front of the line for the next round of state matching funds. Vote YES on "EE": local funding to improve local schools.

Tax Rate Statement from Superintendent of Schools

An election will be held in Jurupa Unified School District (the "District") on November 4, 2014, for the purpose of submitting to the electors of the District the question of incurring a bonded indebtedness of the District in the principal amount of $144,000,000. If such bonds are authorized and sold, the principal thereof and interest thereon will be payable from the proceeds of taxes levied on the taxable property in the District. The following information regarding tax rates is given in compliance with Section 9401 of the California Elections Code. This information is based upon the best estimates and projections presently available from official sources, upon experience within the District and other demonstrable factors. Based upon the foregoing and projections of the assessed valuations of taxable property in the District, and assuming the entire debt service on the bonds will be paid through property taxation: 1. The best estimate from official sources of the tax rate that would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue during the first fiscal year after the first sale of the bonds, based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of the filing of this statement, is $52.75 per $100,000 of assessed valuation of all property to be taxed for the year 2015-16. 2. The best estimate from official sources of the tax rate that would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue during the first fiscal year after the last sale of the bonds and an estimate of the year in which that rate will apply, based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of the filing of this statement, is $52.75 per $100,000 of assessed valuation of all property to be taxed and the year 2023-24. 3. The best estimate from official sources of the highest tax rate that would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue and an estimate of the year in which that rate will apply, based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of the filing of this statement, is $52.75 per $100,000 of assessed valuation of all property to be taxed and the year 2039-40. Attention of voters is directed to the fact that the foregoing information is based upon projections and estimates. The actual timing of sales of the bonds and the amount to be sold at any time will be governed by the needs of the District and other factors. The actual interest rates at which the bonds will be sold, which will not exceed the maximum permitted by law, will depend upon the bond market at the time of sale. The actual assessed valuations in future years will depend upon the value of property within the District as determined in the assessment and the equalization process. Assessed valuation is not the same as market price of real property. Therefore, the actual tax rates and the years in which those tax rates will be applicable may vary from those presently estimated and stated above.
