CSEA Endorsements
Statewide Ballot Measures
CSEA has endorsed two statewide ballot measures in this year’s General Election.
Proposal 1: Remove the Debt Limit for Small City School Districts – PASSED
CSEA Position: Support
This ballot measure would remove the 5% cap on debt limits for small city school districts, defined as districts in cities with fewer than
125,000 residents, are subject to a cap on borrowing for school capital projects not to exceed 5% of taxable real property within the district. All other school districts are subject to a 10% cap.
This ballot measure would remove the 5% cap and subject the small city school districts to the same 10% cap of other districts. CSEA represents members employed at more than 30 small city school districts, which equally deserve high-quality infrastructure and facilities.
Proposal 2: Exclusion of Sewer Debt From Debt Limits – PASSED
CSEA Position: Support
For 50 years, sewer debts have been excluded from the constitutional debt limits of municipalities to allow them to issue debt for sewer facilities without limiting their ability to pay for other capital improvements. This ballot measure extends the exemption until 2034; this continued exemption would allow funding to maintain and improve municipal infrastructure. Thousands of CSEA members across the state provide infrastructure services.
