Property taxes are high. Will California voters pay more for school repairs?

This election, California school districts are counting on voters to pass dozens of local and state measures to fund badly needed repairs.

In L.A. County, 26 districts are seeking $15 billion through school facilities ballot measures.

Lynwood Unified School District is one of them. The Southeast L.A. district serves more than 11,000 students across 18 schools, and it faces challenges common to other districts in the region: a high number of students from low-income, underserved families, and declining enrollment that results in fewer dollars from the state.

Earlier this summer, LAist visited Lynwood schools to better understand the context for this fall's many school bonds.
