Santee School District Measure BB: $30 Million School Repair Bond
What does this measure do?
Supports: Public Education Quality
Lets Santee School District borrow $30 million to fix leaky roofs, plumbing, and sewer lines, replace old heating and air systems, and build classrooms at nine aging schools. Property owners repay under $13 per $100,000 of assessed value a year, which the district says keeps the current tax rate.
Proposed by: Santee School District Board of Education (Resolution No. 2526-24, June 16, 2026)
The district's elected school board. California requires 55% voter approval for a school facilities bond repaid with property taxes.

A YES vote means
The district can sell $30 million in bonds for school repairs and classrooms, repaid by property taxes at about the current rate as older bonds expire.
A NO vote means
The district cannot borrow this money, the school property tax rate would fall as older bonds are paid off, and repairs would wait for other funding.
