Resident urges board to back $26.5M seismic-only bond for high school safety
Summary
During public comment, resident David Fonkria told the board a geologist told him the high school has a '10% risk of collapse' in a major earthquake and urged the board to pursue a $26,500,000 bond limited to seismic upgrades; he offered to help campaign for passage.
David Fonkria, a resident and grandfather of students in the district, urged the board during public comment to focus on seismic safety for the high school. "Our high school is in 10%, risk of collapse in a major, earthquake," Fonkria said, and told directors a $26,500,000 bond dedicated to seismic upgrades would pass and that he would support it.
Fonkria said his primary concern is student safety and suggested the board separate the safety elements from other proposed projects if it seeks voter approval. The board did not take action on a bond proposal at the meeting; the comment was entered into the record for future consideration and for staff follow up.
