Senate OKs School Cash for California Districts
Sacramento Aug 9 The Senate advanced 150 million dollars in construction loans for needy California school districts and approved new usage restrictions. A 25 million dollar bond proposal was trimmed to 130 million for November, while 20 million dollars was authorized directly from state treasury for construction loans. A compromise bill requires districts building multipurpose rooms to levy extra taxes to repay loans. An additional measure sets aside 3 percent of bond issues for classrooms for disabled students. Assembly actions include property reassessment allowances for Kern County earthquake damage and a debate over further school financing terms. The two houses remain about 100 million apart with key measures awaiting concurrence.
