Where do you stand on Prop A?

Proposition A, or the so-called "San Antonio Justice Charter," is expected to be the big draw for the May 6 election. We break down the 13-page proposed charter amendment.

San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg on Tuesday made his position known regarding Proposition A in the May 6 election.

SAN ANTONIO – Voters in the San Antonio Independent School District overwhelmingly approved two propositions that will bring technology upgrades and significant renovations to aging campuses. In the Nov. 3 election, Proposition A, a $1.21 billion bond that will allow renovations at 36 campuses was approved with 68.46% of voters in favor of the bond. The district said 21 of those campuses have not received a full renovation in more than 50 years. That $90 million measure will supply classrooms with more efficient technology like high-speed internet, individual devices, interactive smartboards and audio systems. Rick Flores, the principal of Rhodes Middle School, told KSAT in October that the bond will bring facilities up to code.

SAN ANTONIO The San Antonio ISD Board of Trustees voted Monday to call for a $1.3 billion bond election in November. Two separate propositions will appear on the November ballot one on renovations, and the other on technological advancements. The decision to call for the election followed recommendations from the community-based Blue Ribbon Task Force as part of the districts long-range master plan. Taxpayers would not see a tax rate increase from the bond, according to a news release from the school district. Proposition A, which is $1.21 billion, would address renovation needs for 36 campuses, provide safety upgrades and replace air conditioning chillers that are more than 15 years old.
