McGaugh urges turnout for Seal Beach school bond vote
J H McGaugh superintendent sent home notices about a January 11 school bond election from 1 to 6 pm at the local school. The $100,000 bonds would fund new buildings and retire a $47,000 debt to lower interest costs. Enrollment has risen over 25 percent, and rapid housing growth risks further crowding. A two thirds majority is required to pass the measure.
