This measure also includes an agriculture building for $4.9 million, a competition arena for $44 million and several other projects.

Proposition B comes out to $60.79 million and allocates funds to upgrade technology at every existing campus as well as certain technology projects at the new schools. There is also $40.4 million set aside for improving technology in district facilities.
