Reastion #4: Torrance voters have voted only $1,700 in bond dollars per student in Torrance Unified.
* El Segundo has voted $29,601 per student -- 17 times more than Torrance.
* Redondo Beach has voted $24,500 per student -- 14 times more than Torrance.
Our Torrance Unified students directly compete with students from these and other nearby districts. The lack of funds to support our school facilities leaves our students and teachers at a vast disadvantage, compared to our neighbors. Recruiting and retaining teachers in a district with rundown facilities is difficult when there are a number of other districts with newer and updated facilities where the best and brightest teachers can move to without having to relocate. And the condition that we leave our schools in sends a message about the value we put in education. Measures Y and Z will show that we value education.
