OUR CHALLENGE:

To continue building a quality workforce, our students need quality colleges

As local companies expand and demand

for skilled workers grows, we need to improve

classrooms, labs and career training

facilities to provide students with skills

required for today’s and tomorrow’s jobs.

8

We need to upgrade classrooms and labs to prepare students for future success

• Repair or replace leaky roofs, old rusty plumbing, and

faulty electrical systems

• Upgrade classrooms, labs and career training facilities

for biology, physical sciences, information technology,

engineering, industrial technology, manufacturing,

automotive technology and logistics, emergency

medical services, anatomy and nursing

• Improve student safety and campus security systems

including security lighting, security cameras,

emergency communications systems, smoke

detectors, fire alarms, and sprinklers

• Improve student centers to provide job training, job

placement, counseling, and support services to

students

• Improve access for students with disabilities

• Upgrade libraries to accommodate modern

technology, digital resources, and improve

instructional support for students

IN FACT:

Community colleges in San Bernardino County have been overlooked – no Prop. 51 dollars

55% of California voters approved Prop. 51 in

2016 to fund new construction and modernization

of K-12 schools and community colleges.

10

A November 2018 bond measure will give local students quality workforce preparation by:

Bringing colleges up to basic health and safety standards

Repair or replace leaky roofs, old rusty plumbing, faulty electrical system, fire alarms, smoke detectors and security cameras. Improve building access for students with disabilities.

Fixing and updating older classrooms and job-training facilities

Address a long backlog of crucial repairs and upgrades to rebuild and modernize classroom technology, STEM labs, and student centers to provide job training and counseling.

OUR STUDENTS CAN’T WAIT ANY LONGER:

Local funding solution to help repair, upgrade and improve our community colleges

11

Strict taxpayer accountability

Independent taxpayer’s oversight committee and regular audits would ensure funds are spent as promised, and not on college salaries or operating expenses

$470 million local funds could not be taken away by Sacramentoensuring that every penny raised would be spent to improve local colleges

Colleges could qualify for state matching funds if SBCCD has local funds to construct safe, secure and up-to-date facilities

OUR STUDENTS CAN’T WAIT ANY LONGER:

Local funding solution to help repair, upgrade and improve our community colleges
