Two Santa Maria area school districts will be asking voters to approve a couple of multi-million dollar bond measures. The Santa Maria Joint Union High School District voted to move a 194 million dollar measure to the November 5th ballot. The money would be used to help reduce overcrowding in the district’s high schools. Meanwhile, the Santa Maria-Bonita school district approved moving forward with a 77 million dollar bond request that school officials say is desperately needed. Officials say the money would be used to repair, modernize, and construct elementary/junior high school classrooms to reduce student overcrowding.
