Ben Howell - Summerville Elementary Superintendent
Tuolumne, CA — The Summerville Elementary School District has a $3.4 million Measure C bond on the ballot, and the Calaveras Unified School District has a $66 million Measure A.
Both are designed to help the districts make needed infrastructure repairs and improvements.
This weekend’s Mother Lode Views will first feature an interview with Summerville Elementary School Superintendent Ben Howell and then Calaveras Unified Superintendent Cassandra Meeks.
They will detail how the money would be spent, the oversight involved, and what it means for property owners.
Both would require a 55% majority approval to pass.
They will both talk about the state of infrastructure for the two districts.
Mother Lode Views airs Saturday and Sunday morning at 9:30 on AM 1450 and FM 102.7 KVML. Mother Lode Views can also be heard Sunday morning at 10 o’clock on 93.5 KKBN and at 9 a.m. on STAR 92.7.
