Local Measure G on the November ballot will strengthen the entire community by providing $198 million for technology and infrastructure at Morgan Hill Unified schools, according to Morgan Hill Mayor Steve Tate.
Measure G on the Nov. 6 ballot will authorize the school district to borrow the money through a bond issue.
The wording of the measure says the money will be used to “improve student access to computers and modern technology and provide a quality education, repair or replace leaky roofs, upgrade old plumbing, heating/cooling systems, classrooms and outdated restrooms, upgrade fire hazard, maximize energy efficiency” and provide other improvements to school facilities.
The Morgan Hill City Council is likely to show its support for Measure G and urge voters to vote “Yes” at Wednesday’s council meeting, as the support item is on the meeting’s agenda as a consent calendar item.
In a city staff report supporting the measure, Tate said Measure G is consistent with the city’s goal “to build a stronger community by providing greater opportunities for young people to succeed and develop their full potential.”
Morgan Hill Unified School District trustees unanimously approved placing the measure on the ballot in July.
The city council meeting will take place 7 p.m. Wednesday at city hall council chambers, 17555 Peak Ave.
