Measure J – Borrow Funds to Repair Community Colleges

Community colleges are one of the most cost-effective drivers of economic prosperity for all of us, from working-class to wealthy and whether white, Black, brown, or Asian. In the midst of the pandemic and recession, we need them more than ever. This $858M bond would upgrade facilities and classrooms, complete safety repairs and retain and hire faculty. Together, Measures I and J would help support students to achieve their goals, make the colleges more affordable and create good jobs for faculty in San Jose.
