Summary: Measure US proposes a bond measure to fund LAUSD school facilities improvements. However, we strongly oppose this measure.

Why We Don’t Support: While we recognize the need for infrastructure improvements in LAUSD schools, Measure US is deeply flawed due to its lack of clear financial oversight and accountability. Previous bond measures have resulted in poor financial management, leading to concerns that additional funds will not be effectively used to benefit students. The measure places an unnecessary financial burden on taxpayers without providing adequate transparency regarding how the funds will be allocated. Without clearer safeguards and detailed plans, we cannot support Measure US, as it risks perpetuating the cycle of mismanagement and debt without delivering meaningful improvements to the district’s infrastructure.

This opposition is not based on rejecting the need for better school facilities but on ensuring that taxpayer money is spent responsibly and that the focus remains on creating environments that genuinely enhance student learning outcomes.
