To the Editor:

The Lindbergh School District spends that amount every day paying down existing bonds that have already been approved by taxpayers. Remember the $105 million Proposition R of 2019? They haven’t even started paying back any of that money yet. All they can afford to do right now is pay the interest on it this year which amounts to $3.7 million in their 2023-2024 budget. Per their budget, the total debt load as of June 2024, will still be $176,000,000. And now they are asking us to approve another $150 million in debt!

That’s close to a third of a billion in debt for one school district. The Lindbergh School District should start paying off existing debt before asking for more money.

Vote NO on Prop R.
