Santa Ana Unified School District Measure G appeared on the June 3, 2008 ballot in Orange County, California, where it passed. The measure authorized $200 million in bonds, and required 2/3 voter approval to pass. The measure was placed on the ballot by 3 of the 5 school district's board members.[1],[2]

Santa Ana USD is Orange County's largest school district. Enrollment in the district has declined by more than 7,000 students over the last five years.

Santa Ana voters approved Measure C in 1999. Measure C was a $145-million bond issue based on the promise of building 13 new schools. However, after C passed with 70.3% of the vote, district officials proceeded to spend $450-million building only five schools.

Donations to pass G from potential vendors

Supporters of Measure G have raised more than $200,000, mostly from contractors who do business with the district.
