Lawndale trustees hear preliminary results showing voter approval of local bond measure
Summary
Superintendent's office reported a preliminary 61.28% voter approval on the district’s bond measure (Measure EE/Measure LL referenced in remarks); board members celebrated the likely passage and thanked voters, marking a major capital funding development for school facilities.
District staff told the board that initial returns showed community support for the district bond on the June 2 ballot, with voter support at about 61.28 percent as of late afternoon returns. Luis Diaz reported the figure during the superintendent’s report and said the district had been in contact with bond counsel and legal advisers about next steps.
Dr. Howard Hall and board members framed the vote as a significant moment for facility improvements. “Although it’s not official yet, we can begin to celebrate because this is a really big deal for the district,” Hall said. A trustee later noted “Measure LL Pass” during board comments and thanked voters for their support.
The district said it will continue to work with bond counsel and will begin planning capital spending in line with the bond’s authorizing measure and the district’s Measure EE/Measure LL program (the transcript references Measure EE as the building fund). Staff did not provide a final certified total at the meeting; bond counsel confirmation and official certification remain pending.
