Recognizing that Santa Monica College and the Santa Monica and Malibu communities face a shortage of parks, physical education, recreational and other facilities, college officials are considering a $175 million bond measure for the fall ballot to fund a wide range of local projects. Two years ago, voters passed a $160 million bond measure at SMC that funds nearly two dozen projects, and the local school district recently completed building and renovating nearly $100 million worth of new facilities using money that was generated by a school bond passed by voters in 1998.
