The L.A. Community College District is asking voters to approve a $5.3-billion construction bond that would cost homeowners from about $88 to $157 annually in property taxes for the next 40 years to finance renovations and upgrades on its nine campuses.
The Los Angeles Community College District is asking voters to approve a $5.3-billion construction bond that would cost homeowners from about $88 to $157 annually in property taxes for the next 40 years to finance renovations and upgrades on its nine campuses.
“We have a very large need to upgrade, to modernize, to improve the teaching and learning conditions,” said LACCD Chancellor Francisco Rodriguez. “Students deserve equitable learning environments.” One example is the communication studies building at Los Angeles City College, according to Mary Gallagher, the college’s president. The building houses editing bays from when the structure was built in the late 1960s, but are now unnecessary because students can edit video from their computers.
Nursing students at Los Angeles Harbor College need classrooms equipped with modern technology to match the experience they would encounter in a workplace, said Lynn Yamakawa, who directs the college’s nursing program.“Practice labs — they have to look like where the student is going to work,” she said. “This bond would give us the ability to … evolve as our healthcare environment evolves.
