Forestville school bond on the November ballot

Excerpts from an article by Kerry Benefield in the Press Democrat:

Seven Sonoma County school districts will ask their voters in November to support a total of more than $127 million in construction and maintenance projects, with solar installations dominating the wish lists...
Solar projects also are included in the construction list in five other districts... Forestville did not include solar in its $5.1 million bond...
In Forestville, a survey found voter support for a general obligation bond that would pay for classroom improvements, playground upgrades and other projects.
But there was not enough support to pass a two-thirds threshold needed to raise taxes for expenses, Superintendent Bob Borbe said.
“We did survey our community, and our community overwhelmingly said they would support a bond issue,” he said. “We also asked them if they would support a parcel tax and they said, ‘No.'"
