Climate Progress Dashboard – navigating risks and opportunities
Climate change is becoming a defining theme of the global economy.
The Climate Progress Dashboard monitors change indicators across the four categories that have the most influence on limiting global temperature rises: political change, business and finance, technology solutions and entrenched industry (i.e. fossil fuel use).

Keeping track of activity: the Climate Progress Dashboard*
Climate progress dashboard; long run temperature rise drops again to 3.3°C
We developed the Climate Progress Dashboard to provide an objective measure of the long run temperature rises implied by the myriad of levers global policy makers, societies and companies will need to pull to tackle climate change. The Climate Progress Dashboard examines progress across a wide range of areas to track the rate of progress toward the commitments global leaders made in Paris in 2015.
The 26th Conference of the Parties – the annual global climate jamboree bringing together pollical leaders to set a roadmap for global climate action – ended in November, without providing the step forward we had hoped for, nor the setback we'd feared. We summarised our views on that conference in several articles, including here.
Its perhaps unsurprising that the latest reading of the Climate Progress Dashboard points to a long run temperature rise of 3.3 degrees over pre-industrial levels, down just slightly from 3.4 degrees in our previous update.
Since our last update, the positive momentum has been driven by continued evidence that the oil and gas sector is curtailing its investment in new capacity, voluntarily or otherwise.
That component of the dashboard assesses the global, listed sector's investment in growth (capex), relative to its asset base. That ratio yields an indication of the pace of capacity growth the industry is on track to deliver in the future[1]. By comparing that rate of production growth to the rates implied under different climate scenarios plotted by the IEA, we can gauge the long run temperature rise implied by that future production growth.
In previous updates, we have questioned whether the industry would be able to resist the temptation to raise investment as oil prices rally. To date, the evidence looks encouraging; industry-wide investment in new capacity has continued to slide. Fossil fuel producers are in the cross hairs of climate campaigners and policy makers, as are the financial service companies that provide capital to them. That constraint has been the major driver of the lower long run temperature rise implied by climate action since our last update.

Political action and carbon prices have also moved in the right direction.
The former reflects the ratcheting of climate commitments in the run up to, and during, COP26. India in particular has established a net zero target, albeit its pace is contingent on developed economies providing capital to emerging counterparts to ease and facilitate that transition.
Carbon prices in Europe continue to reach new records, having proven resilient through the Covid crisis while also benefitting from its nascent re-opening.
All-in-all, there is much further to go to align the actions we see across all of the stakeholders, industries and social groups that will play key roles in driving decarbonisation. Progress toward the goals agreed in Paris in 2015 continues, albeit slowly.

Political ambition
Commitment from global leaders to curb greenhouse gas emissions is crucial to our ability to limit global temperature rises. We look at the temperature rises implied by individual countries' pledges to reduce their emissions.

Corporate planning
The private sector's role in the low-carbon transition cannot be understated. To track corporate action to combat climate change, we use survey data from the CDP, formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project. Based on individual responses, the CDP awards performance points for corporate actions that are considered to contribute to a less carbon-intensive global economy. We assume that if all companies achieved a rating of 7 or above, the rise in global temperatures would be limited to 2OC; if they all achieved a score of less than 3, we would see a 6OC rise.
The chart shows how global temperatures are expected to rise based on current corporate action to reduce environmental impact.

To meaningfully lower global greenhouse gas emissions, we will probably need to see more electric vehicles (EVs) on the road. We track the progress being made in this area by comparing the global stock of plug-in EVs to projections that the International Energy Agency has made for electric vehicle use under different temperature scenarios.
The chart shows the likely temperature rise implied by current levels of global EV stock.

Oil & gas investment
Limiting the amount invested in the oil & gas industry is required to reduce global emissions. We track how much is being invested by listed global oil & gas companies versus the amount of production growth that will keep temperatures at each of the different levels. We calculate production investment as capital expenditure as a percentage of a company's assets.

Public concern
Public concern has been correlated with a country's carbon emissions. We track the level of public concern about climate change by using Gallup's annual survey on the attitudes of major countries to climate change. We assume that if 90% of respondents are concerned about climate change, the rise in global temperatures will be limited to 2oC. If only 10% are concerned, we will see a 6oC rise.

Renewable capacity
Limiting the rise in global temperatures will likely require a complete transition away from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. We track how renewables capacity is growing relative to how much is needed to contain temperature rises to different levels.

The implementation of governmental policies is an important step on the journey to a low-carbon economy. We track the progress individual countries are making in implementing climate change-mitigating policies and laws, how stringent these are, and what the overall effect global effect is likely to be.

Carbon prices
Carbon pricing – a system of charging those who emit CO2 – is a way of reducing global warming emissions. We compare the current price of carbon in Europe and the US to the levels which are likely to be needed to cut greenhouse gas emissions far enough to meet climate goals.
The chart shows the temperature gain we are on track to achieve at the current carbon price.

CCS Capacity
One of the ways to reduce carbon emissions is to capture and store wasted CO2 underground. We monitor the headway being made in this area by comparing the level of carbon capture and storage (CCS) needed to mitigate climate change against the actual growth in CCS capacity.
The chart shows the rise in global temperatures that can be expected given current CCS capacity.

Fossil fuel production
Fossil fuels account for four-fifths of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions so lowering global production is key to meeting climate change commitments. We track the growth in fossil fuel production compared to the levels required to contain global temperatures at each level.
The chart shows the temperature rise implied by current levels of fossil fuel production.

A week of great walks during Burley Festival
By Claire Lomax
OVER 140 walkers enjoyed a varied programme of guided and themed walks during Burley Festival week.
Highlights included a tour of an upland farm with rare breed sheep, a visit to four beekeepers in Burley and Menston who also gave practical demonstrations, and a walk between a number of open gardens.
Having missed a year due to Covid-19 restrictions, the organising group, Burley-in-Wharfedale Walkers are Welcome, were unsure how many people would be confident about returning to group walking. Their concerns were not realised, however, with a number of walks reaching or nearly reaching maximum permitted numbers.
David Asher, Chair of the group, said: "We were very pleased at how well the walking programme for the Festival worked out this year, thanks to our walk leaders and also the large number of guides and hosts who gave up their time to inform and entertain our walkers. We repeated a number of our popular walks from previous years, such as our Archaeology walk on Burley Moor and a visit to Ben Rhydding Nature Reserve, and these were again well supported. However, our most popular walks this year turned out to be a tour of a number of beautiful gardens in the village, our informative visits to Burley and Menston beekeepers, and the walk and instructive tour of West Moor House Farm above Middleton by farmers Rob and Penny Paisley."
Another well attended walk included the first two stages of the Yorkshire Heritage Way from Bradford Cathedral to Saltaire and Burley. This long distance route also passes through Brimham Rocks and Fountains Abbey after Burley, terminating at Ripon Cathedral, and will be formally launched at Bradford Cathedral in 2022 following the publication of a guide book. A descriptive walk by former signalman Bill Smith, who spent 20 years operating the Burley Junction signal box also proved a big hit. Bill, who had recently celebrated his 90th birthday, walked the majority of the route along the old Burley to Otley railway line and achieved his ambition of finding the site of the Milnerwood signal box, which he also operated. The group also resurrected 'Beating the Bounds' a walk around the 12 mile perimeter of Burley Parish. This was undertaken annually on Rogation Sunday up until about 1901, in order to bless the fields and remind residents where the village boundary was.
David Asher added: "We will start planning for the 2022 Festival shortly. By then we hope we can include some of our walks that include indoor visits as well. Our AGM will be held at Burley Library on Wednesday 13 October, starting at 7.30pm, and we would welcome any suggestions for Festival walks at the meeting. Our speaker will be David Shaftoe from Open Country, the Yorkshire based charity which is working to improve access to the countryside for all, whatever form of disability they may have. David has been advising the group for the past couple of years in order to help make footpaths around the village as accessible as possible. Our monthly guided walks programme is also restarting this month without the need to pre-book. If anyone is interested in our Friday 3 mile, Sunday 5 mile, and Sunday 8 to 10 mile walks, please get in touch via email burleywalkersarewelcome@gmail.com"

Howard Morrison
After honing his skills in the Awapuni Concert Party, Howard Morrison found fame in the late 50s with the Howard Morrison Quartet. Regularly on tour, the group ranged across pop, country, rearrangements of Māori standards, and parodies — including creating the lyrics for apartheid send-up 'My Old Man's an All Black'. Morrison continued to perform solo after he called time on the quartet in 1964; a number of his concerts screened on television. His biggest solo success was 1981 chart-topper 'How Great Thou Art'. As a public servant, he worked to motivate Māori youth. Morrison passed away on 24 September 2009.
AudioCulture profile of Howard Morrison
How Great Thou Art (Whakaaria Mai)
1981 - Music video
"I hear the roooolling thunder". Sir Howard Morrison's classic bilingual rendition of the popular hymn comes from an October 1981 Royal Variety Performance, in front of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. Morrison's performance at Auckland's St James Theatre of 'Whakaaria Mai' marked a comeback for the veteran entertainer, who had been out of the spotlight working in Māori youth development. Released as a single a couple of months later, it topped the charts for four weeks, and led to the commissioning of a televised Howard Morrison Special in 1982.

Shree Kalika Lower School is situated in Dhading District. Dhading lies in the central development region of Nepal, and its geographical region starts from about 22 Km west of Kathmandu. Dhadingbeshi, the district headquarters is about 120 km from Kathmandu. The region is culturally diverse with Hindus populating the lower regions and a great variety of other ethnic groups, including a majority of Tamang, residing at higher altitudes. Labor-intensive subsistence agriculture supports the majority of families in Dhading, with wheat and potatoes being the predominant crops at high altitudes, and various types of seasonal and off seasonal vegetables cultivated along the highway area. Large, traditional families remain the norm. Most of the community depends on agriculture to sustain their livelihood, with some portion of the population making ends meet by working as laborers in stone and sand quarries.
The population of the area is about 765. The average household size ranges from 5 to 7. Most houses in the urban and bazaar area are two to three stories in height and constructed from brick in cement mortar and roofed with Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) while houses in remote villages are one to two stories in height and constructed from stone in mud mortar and roofed with corrugated iron sheets or thatch.
Shree Kalika Lower Secondary School was established in 1988. The school currently consists of four buildings comprising a total of eight rooms. Of these, seven are used as classrooms and one serves as an office. The existing building is extremely unsuitable to hold classes, due to roof leakage, cracked walls, and inadequate space.
Opportunity For All and Room to Read is constructing a new four-room building in the school compound. No existing buildings will be demolished. The students will continue to attend class in their old classrooms until the new building is completed.
Students in one of the existing classrooms.
The two, newly constructed single-story buildings comprise a total of four rooms. All four rooms are used as classrooms. These rooms are adequately ventilated and well lit by ample natural light. Each of the newly constructed classrooms can accommodate 46 students very comfortably. The interior walls of the school building have been plastered and painted yellow. The external walls of the school building have also been plastered and painted.
The school also has a six-room toilet facility, sufficient for students and teachers, that includes four pans and two urinal units with a good water supply.

Total and CMA CGM Complete World's Largest LNG Bunkering Operation
The CMA CGM Jacques Saadé, the world's largest containership powered by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has completed her first LNG bunkering with Total's LNG bunker vessel, the Gas Agility, on November 13th 2020 at the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands. The 23,000 TEU1 containership received around 17,300 m3 of LNG, making it the largest LNG bunkering operation to ever take place.
Safe and efficient bunkering operation was performed by the Gas Agility at the Rotterdam World Gateway terminal by means of a ship-to-ship transfer, while the CMA CGM Jacques Saadé carried out cargo operations simultaneously. The supply of LNG was provided by Total Marine Fuels Global Solutions, Total's dedicated business unit in charge of worldwide bunkering activities. Refueling took approximately 24 hours to complete.
As part of this milestone operation, the carbon footprint of the LNG delivered was further reduced with the introduction of biomethane for approximately 13% of the quantity delivered, through the Guarantee of Origin (GO) certificates mechanism. The biomethane is produced in the Schipol area in the Netherlands, mainly by organic municipal waste
The pioneering bunkering operation is a ground-breaking development for the global LNG market and concretely demonstrates Total and CMA CGM's pledge to advance the use of LNG as a marine fuel, the best, immediately available solution in terms of energy transition to help reduce the environmental footprint of maritime transport. LNG makes it possible to eliminate almost all the air pollutants generated by the combustion of fossil fuels:
• 99% of sulphur oxide emissions;
• 99% of fine particles emissions;
• Up to 85% of nitrogen oxide emissions;
A LNG-powered vessel also emits up to 20% less CO2 than conventional fuel-powered systems. The development of bio and synthetic LNG2 will further drive forward LNG as a viable pathway to support the International Maritime Organization's strategy on reducing GHG emissions from international shipping.
"We are really proud of this landmark achievement, which is the culmination of a 3-year close collaboration between Total and CMA CGM," said Jérôme Leprince-Ringuet, Vice President Marine Fuels at Total. "It also marks the shipping industry's first commercial use of biomethane on this scale. Such introduction reflects Total's ambition to get to Net Zero by 2050 and our commitment to help reduce the carbon intensity of the energy products used by our customers."
"CMA CGM has chosen Total as part of a major industrial partnership to supply them with gas. Thereby making CMA CGM the initiator in structuring a genuine LNG field of excellence in maritime transport." said Christine Cabau, CMA CGM Executive Vice President, Group Industrial Assets. "The pioneering choice of LNG we announced in 2017 is a step forward to achieve our objective of being carbon neutral by 2050 and to accelerate the energy transition in transport and logistics."

2Synthetic LNG is LNG derived from the synthesis of CO2 and hydrogen; it is considered a zero-emission fuel when produced from renewable hydrogen and recycled CO2.

Michael Lewis: A Saint
The giant Super Bowl XLIV ring he bears on his right hand is not the most striking achievement of Michael Lewis during his football career. The most striking achievement is overcoming his size, or lack of it. In an interview granted to The Plaquemines Gazette, the former wide receiver and kick return specialist for the New Orleans Saints answered the question, "Wow! How did you manage to play in the NFL?" simply and cheerfully: "It wasn't easy." Lewis has never let other people's first impressions intimidate him.

Quick Strikes: Tampa Bay Lightning close out first half in style
Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point, Cal Foote, and some other minor moves as well.

Nikita Kucherov is insanely good. Steven Stamkos is insanely good. The Tampa Bay Lightning are insanely good. [Raw Charge]
Nikita Kucherov scored once and set up three other goals, bringing his point totals on the season to 69 in 41 games, and point total in his career to 400; becoming the first member of his draft class to reach that mark. Kuch also extended his streak of multiple points in a game to seven. He only needs one more to tie Vincent Lecavalier for the franchise lead.

Along with Stamkos and Kucherov, Brayden Point deserves to be at the All-Star Game in San Jose, California this winter. He still has a chance to make it, but it's slim, because the NHL's rules for this event are silly. [Tampa Bay Times]
What Point has done this year is score more than 20 goals and surpass 50 points before the season's midpoint, which was reached with Thursday night's game against the Kings. He has done that while centering the Lightning's shutdown line against opponents' top forwards, such as the Devils' Taylor Hall, the Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon and the Oilers' Connor McDavid.

Some people continue to wonder why top pick Cal Foote isn't in the NHL with the Bolts yet. Coach Benoit Groulx shed some light on those inquiries, adding context for a situation that cannot be explained on HockeyDB. [Syracuse]
"Confidence is a huge thing. We talk about it in the room,'' Foote said. "It's having audacity, and that's one of the words we talk about. Just be willing to make a bold, risky play that's high risk but good reward. To be able to have confidence out there and to gain more confidence is a thing that I need to keep on doing.''
Olivier Archambault has been sent to the ECHL Orlando Solar Bears. The 25-year-old winger has been having trouble getting in the lineup and producing ever since his injury. Some icetime and confidence should do him some good.
Ben said at this point Archambault's play was behind other forwards on the team. Said he's been struggling to get game back after returning from his injury, especially mentally

"It happened in Hagerstown earlier in the season, too," Apollon said. "The n-word. The basketball chants. We had a team chat and he explained the history of how it happened before."
There were a pair of minor moves in the hockey world. Nothing big, but worth noting.

Lastly, the Toronto Maple Leafs had to call up two of their three AHL goalies because both Frederik Andersen and Garret Sparks got injured. How long will the Leafs' #1 and #2 be out? People don't expect it to be long, but honestly who really knows anymore. [Pension Plan Puppets]
Both Michael Hutchinson and Kasimir Kaskisuo have been called up to the Toronto Maple Leafs from the AHL on an emergency basis ahead of today's 2 p.m. game against the Minnesota Wild. Hutchinson is expected to get the start. He has already played four games in the NHL this season for the Florida Panthers.

There are days when we look around and it seems as though the Enemy has won. That's the way Asaph felt when he wrote Psalm 79.
He looked around and saw defilement. "Oh God, the nations have come into Your inheritance; Your holy temple they have defiled; they have laid Jerusalem in heaps" (v. 1). Asaph refers to the destruction of the temple and the city of Jerusalem. We, too, can look around today and see defilement in people's minds and hearts.
Then Asaph saw death. "The dead bodies of Your servants they have given as food for the birds of the heavens.... Their blood they have shed like water all around Jerusalem" (vv. 2,3). Our world is basically a cemetery. The wages of sin is death. We see it wherever we look.
Asaph also saw derision. "We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those who are around us" (v. 4). People today don't magnify the Lord; they laugh at Him. They laugh at the Church, at God's people. We are a derided people because so often it looks as though we are losing and they have won the battle.
stroying hand of Satan was at work. But Asaph says, "Help us, O God of our salvation." Why? "For the glory of Your name; and deliver us" (v. 9). How? "And provide atonement for our sins, for Your name's sake!" Asaph isn't concerned so much about his own comfort as he is about God's glory. So he prays, "Help us."
God helps by purging us from our sins. In addition, verses 11 and 12 tell us that He will come and save us. How wonderful that day will be when Jesus Christ comes to deliver us! Meanwhile, in the world we see defilement, death, derision, destruction and devouring. Now is the time to cry and say, "O God, for the glory of Your name, help us do Your will."
Satan is at work in the world, but one day God will be glorified, and He will deliver His people from this world. God promises to be with you and to be your Salvation. Rest on that promise.

Can the Dead Corrupt Politics?
October 16, 2019 • By Ryan Morrison • Blog • Contribution Limits, Political Parties
Can a dead man's unexpected donation corrupt the political process? That's a question the Supreme Court may answer if it decides to hear the Libertarian National Committee's case against the Federal Election Commission.
In 2015, Joseph Shaber left more than $235,000 to the LNC in his will with no strings attached. The LNC had no idea the contribution was coming. Mr. Shaber had only donated $3,315 to the party over twenty-five years before his death, making the large bequest even more unexpected.
Amazed at its good fortune, the LNC wanted to use the money to promote its message and candidates right away. But the FEC said no; the party had to wait. Under federal campaign contribution limits, the LNC could only accept a fraction of the total bequest ($33,400 in 2015). The rest of the money would have to sit in an escrow account to be distributed over six more years. Or the party could use the whole amount immediately, but only if it spent the funds on certain things like the party's national convention, its headquarters, or on legal fees.
The LNC decided to let the money wait in escrow and bring a lawsuit to challenge the constitutionality of restricting Mr. Shaber's gift. After losing its challenge at the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, the LNC recently asked the Supreme Court to review the case. It should.
The right to support causes you believe in is a core First Amendment right. Even a limit on a deceased person's political donations infringes on that right. That's why the Supreme Court has held that contribution limits are only constitutional if they prevent quid pro quo corruption or its appearance. Quid pro quo corruption requires an exchange of a thing of value for an official act. If a contribution restriction does little or nothing to prevent quid pro quo corruption, then it is invalid under the First Amendment.
Politicians and political committees do not owe dead men any favors. Especially when the dearly departed never asked for any during their lifetime or ever told the beneficiary of the bequest that the gift was forthcoming. The LNC was neither asked for nor did it provide anything of value to Mr. Shaber's surviving relatives or friends in exchange for that gift. Certainly, a bequest can be corrupt if a bargain is struck between a politician and the contributor before his death. But the uncoordinated arrangement between Mr. Shaber and the LNC is not corrupt or even potentially corrupt.
Contribution limits exist to prevent quid pro quo corruption or its appearance. But when, as here, the evidence shows corruption is impossible, contribution limits should not apply. Mr. Shaber wanted to continue his legacy by supporting a cause he believed in after his death. He wanted nothing in return other than for the LNC to continue pursuing their shared ideals. There is nothing more American than that. As applied here, the Supreme Court should rule that the law's contribution limits are unconstitutional.
The Institute filed an amicus brief calling on the Supreme Court to hear the case above.

The CSIRO Mk3L climate system model
Editor(s): GMD topical editors | Coordinator: S. J. Phipps More information
The CSIRO Mk3L climate system model is a computationally-efficient coupled general circulation model, designed primarily for the study of climate variability and change on millennial timescales. The model distribution is freely available to the research community. This Special Issue allows the history and evolution of Mk3L to be comprehensively documented within a single issue of a journal. Papers are welcome which describe and evaluate components of the model, and which describe and evaluate subsequent enhancements to the modelling system. The issue is also intended for papers which document specific experiments, particularly those which contribute towards Model Intercomparison Projects.

Oceanic sediment cores are commonly used to understand past climates. The composition of the sediments changes with the ocean above it. An understanding of oceanographic conditions that existed many thousands of years ago, in some cases many millions of years ago, can therefore be extracted from sediment cores. We simulate two chemical signatures (13C and 15N) of sediment cores in a model. This study assesses the model before it is applied to reinterpret the sedimentary record.

Are you sure you want vote to support this extravagant measure? It has no accountability.
This campaign was designed by a member of the school bonds cartel. We figured out just the right words to get you to you to open up your checkbook.
We'd also like to introduce you to our partners -- bond lawyers, brokers, wealthy investors, architects, management firms, construction companies, and trade unions. We all stand to make a ton of money on these bonds. Our profits come right off the top, before a penny is actually spent on improving the facilities.
We're not just doing it for the money. We like to show off our work in Architectural Digest and other places where the rich and famous congregate.
Remember, we've taken a lot of risk. We gave money to get your governing board members elected, so they'd be sure to remember us when we came around for a hand-out later.
It's just business-as-usual, here in sunny Corruptifornia.

Argument in Favor of Measure GG
GLENDORA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
2017 School Bond Measure - Election Day: November 7, 2017
Glendora Unified Schools are the cornerstone of our community, and represent the future of our city. In order to continue providing our students a high-quality education, we need modern, safe facilities and up-to-date technology. Measure GG provides a prudent, responsible plan to address our most critical needs.
Academic standards are rising for what it takes to compete in the 21st-century global economy. In addition, career technical education has grown in rigor, complexity, and skills required to prepare students for well-paying careers. Measure GG will give our students access to the education, facilities, and technology they need to be successful in college and their careers.
Measure GG will:
- Provide the facilities and technology needed to support high-quality instruction in math, science, engineering, and technology, as well as music and art;
- Upgrade and modernize classrooms, science labs, career-training facilities, computer systems and instructional technology;
- Repair aging plumbing, electrical, heating and ventilation systems;
- Improve student safety and campus security systems, including security lighting, security cameras, emergency communications systems, smoke detectors, fire alarms and sprinklers.
Measure GG requires a clear system of accountability, including a project list detailing how money will be allocated. It includes a Citizens' Oversight Committee and independent audits to ensure the money is spent properly. Measure GG funds stay in the District to support Glendora students; they cannot be taken away by the State. By law, all funds must be used to improve our classrooms and school facilities; none will be used for administrator salaries.
Even if you do not have school-age children, Measure GG is a wise investment. Good schools improve our quality of life in Glendora and protect the value of our homes.
For our students and our community, please vote YES on GG.

EXHIBIT B
FULL TEXT BALLOT PROPOSITION
OF THE GLENDORA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
BOND MEASURE ELECTION NOVEMBER 7, 2017
The following is the full proposition presented to the voters by the Glendora Unified School District.
"To upgrade and modernize classrooms, science labs, career training facilities, computer systems, and instructional technology to support high quality instruction/student achievement in science, technology, engineering, math/skilled trades, acquire, construct, and repair classrooms, facilities, sites/equipment, repair aging plumbing, electrical, heating/ventilation systems, improve student safety and campus security systems, shall Glendora Unified School District issue $98,000,000 in bonds at legal interest rates, with independent citizen oversight, no money for administrator salaries and all money staying local?"
The Board of Education of the Glendora Unified School District is committed to improving the quality of education in local schools by providing safe, secure, upgraded classrooms and science labs so students are prepared for college or other good paying careers. To that end, the Board evaluated the District's urgent and critical facility needs, including safety issues, class size, computer and information technology, and prepared a General Obligation Bond Program Plan, dated May 8, 2017, which is incorporated herein in its entirety CriticalReferencing this is a scam devised by school bonds cartel lawyers, who write these measures. Proposition 39 requires that the list be in the measure. Out-of-sight, out-of-mind. The Board can change anything that's not in this measure any time it wishes. The lawyers know this. What's the purpose of the following 2,000+ words? To allow the district to do, literally, anything it wants with the money. That's what you're voting on. , in developing the scope of projects to be funded. The District conducted a facilities evaluation and received public input in developing this Project List. Teachers, staff, community members and the Board have prioritized the key health and safety needs so that the most critical facility needs are addressed. The Board concluded that providing classrooms for technical education so students are prepared for college and good paying careers in health science, engineering, technology and skilled trades and protecting the quality of our schools, the quality of life in our community, and the value of our homes are wise investments. Therefore, in approving this Project List, the Board of Education determines that the District must:
(i) Repair or replace aging plumbing, electrical, heating and ventilation systems; and

The Project List CriticalThis really takes the cake. How is any of this "a list of the specific school facilities projects to be funded" as required by the California Constitution? It's not. It authorizes the district to spend the money on whatever it wants, whenever it wants, wherever it wants. includes the following types of upgrades and improvements CriticalClearly it's not a "list of the specific school facilities projects to be funded" as required by the Constitution. It's a BLANK CHECK. at District schools, facilities and sites:
IMPROVE STUDENT LEARNING FOR COLLEGE AND CAREERS
Basic School Repair and Upgrade Projects To Maintain High-Quality Learning Environment
Goals and Purposes: If we want our students to be prepared for college and good paying careers in fields like health sciences, engineering, technology and skilled trades, then we must provide modern classrooms for career and technical education classes.
Local schools were built more than 30-60 years ago they need basic repairs, including aging plumbing, electrical, heating and ventilation systems so they can serve the community well for decades to come.
0 Upgrade and modernize science labs, classrooms, and career technical education facilities, computer systems and instructional technology so students are prepared for college and in- demand careers.
0 Repair or replace aging plumbing and faulty electrical, heating and ventilation systems where needed.
0 Upgrade facilities and equipment needed to support high quality instruction in music and performing arts.
0 Provide facilities to support high quality instructions in math, science, engineering and technology.
PREPARE FOR 21st CENTURY CAREERS
District-Wide Technology Projects
Goal and Purpose: If we want our kids to succeed in college and careers, they must be skilled in the use of today's technologies and have a solid background in science, math, engineering and technology. This measure will make this possible.
This measure also ensures that money raised will stay local to support our students and cannot be taken by the State.
0 Update classrooms and instructional technology for improved student learning in core subjects like science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
0 Upgrade classrooms and labs for career and technical education classes and computer systems to keep pace with technology.
0 Create flexible, multi-use classrooms to support hands-on instruction and learning-by-doing.
KEEP STUDENTS SAFE
Student Safety and Campus Securitl Projects
Goal and Purpose: Whether or not you have school-age children, protecting the quality of our schools, the quality of life in our community, and the value of our homes is a wise investment. This measure will upgrade security lighting, fencing, smoke detectors, fire alarms, sprinklers, and campus security systems for improved student safety.
Schools will benefit from a variety of safety projects, such as:
0 Replace aging portable classrooms that are expensive to maintain with new, modern classrooms.
0 Improve student safety and campus security systems, including security lighting, security cameras, emergency communications systems, smoke detectors, fire alarms and sprinklers.
0 Ensure that childrens' playground equipment and play areas meet current health and safety standards.
The listed projects will be completed as needed CriticalYou see? None of these repairs are current needs. They may be needed in the future, though. After years and years of neglect, any facility will fall into disrepair. . Each project CriticalHere it comes. This is the kitchen sink paragraph. Ask an English teacher to diagram every sentence. See if any two people can agree on what all this gibberish means. It's here so that just in case the district left something out, this covers it, no matter what the district wants to do. is assumed to include its share of furniture, equipment, architectural, engineering, and similar planning costs, program/project management, staff training expenses CriticalTraining is an operating expense, specifically prohibited by the California Constitution. What will it train staff to do? How to open a door? How to turn on the lights? This is just another way to move operating costs from the general fund to the bonds and use the money saved to pay salaries, benefits, and pensions. and a customary contingency for unforeseen design and construction costs. In addition to the listed projects stated above, the Project List also includes the acquisition of a variety of instructional, maintenance and operational equipment, including the reduction or retirement of outstanding lease obligations CriticalLeases are OPERATING expenses explicitly prohibited by the Constitution Article XIII-A Section 1(b)(3)(A) (Proposition 39). "not for any other purpose, including teacher and administrator salaries and other school operating expenses." and interim funding incurred to advance fund projects from the Project List; installation of signage and fencing; payment of the costs of preparation of all facility planning, facility studies, assessment reviews, facility master plan preparation CriticalFacilities master plans are required by law, whether or not there is a bond. These are OPERATING expenses explicitly prohibited by the Constitution Article XIII-A Section 1(b)(3)(A) (Proposition 39). "not for any other purpose, including teacher and administrator salaries and other school operating expenses." and updates, environmental studies (including environmental investigation, remediation and monitoring), design and construction documentation, and temporary housing of dislocated District activities caused by construction projects. In addition to the projects listed above, the repair and renovation of each of the existing school facilities may include, but not be limited to, some or all of the following: add or renovate student and staff restrooms; repair and replace electrical, plumbing, heating and ventilation systems; upgrade of facilities for energy efficiencies; repair and replace worn-out and deteriorated roofs CriticalIs it a coincidence that every district in the state has "leaky roofs"? You might even ask if leaky roofs actually exist? If they do, why haven't they been repaired yet. Are they reported on the School Accountability Report Card? If not, then you're being lied to. According to the school bond cartel's professional marketing study, claiming "leaky roofs" translates directly into yes votes from voters who are made to feel guilty about it. , windows, walls, floors, doors and drinking fountains; construct or renovate the District office and facilities for professional development of teachers, more efficient administration and proper data security; install wiring and electrical systems to safely accommodate computers, technology and other electrical devices and needs; upgrade or construct support facilities including administrative, physical education (including constructing, upgrading, or adding gyms, stadiums CriticalLook at what the district is hiding in this huge list.

The budget for each project is an estimate and may be affected by factors beyond the District's control. Some projects throughout the District, such as gyms, fields and performing arts facilities, may be undertaken as joint use projects in cooperation with other local public or non-profit agencies CriticalThe California Constitution prohibits the use of Proposition 39 bond funds for anything other than "school facilities." The term is used no less than five times in the Constitution. It's not for funding community projects. . The final cost of each project will be determined as plans and construction documents are finalized, construction bids are received, construction contracts are awarded and projects are completed. Based on the final costs of each project, certain of the projects described above may be delayed or may not be completed. Demolition of portable classrooms and existing facilities and reconstruction of facilities scheduled for repair and upgrade may occur, if the Board determines that such an approach would be more cost-effective in creating more enhanced and operationally efficient campuses. Necessary site preparation/restoration may occur in connection with new construction, renovation or remodeling, or installation or removal of relocatable classrooms, including ingress and egress, removing, replacing, or installing irrigation or drainage systems, utility lines, trees and landscaping, relocating fire access roads, and acquiring any necessary easements, licenses, or rights of way to the property. Proceeds of the bonds may be used to pay or reimburse the District for the cost of District staff CriticalWhat was that they said about no administrative salaries? when performing work on or necessary and incidental CriticalWho do you think gets to decide? to bond projects. Bond proceeds shall only be expended for the specific purposes identified herein. The District shall create an account into which proceeds of the bonds shall be deposited and comply with the reporting requirements of Government Code � 53410.
FISCAL ACCOUNTABILITY: IN ACCORDANCE WITH EDUCATION CODE SECTION 15272, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION WILL APPOINT A CITIZENS' OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE AND CONDUCT ANNUAL INDEPENDENT AUDITS TO ASSURE THAT FUNDS ARE SPENT ONLY ON DISTRICT PROJECTS AND FOR NO OTHER PURPOSE. THE EXPENDITURE OF BOND MONEY ON THESE PROJECTS IS SUBJECT TO STRINGENT FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY REQUIREMENTS. BY LAW, PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL AUDITS WILL BE PERFORMED AN NUALLY, AND ALL BOND EXPENDITURES WILL BE MONITORED BY AN INDEPENDENT CITIZENS' OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE TO ENSURE THAT FUNDS ARE SPENT AS PROMISED AND SPECIFIED. THE CITIZENS' OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE MUST INCLUDE, AMONG OTHERS, REPRESENTATION OF A BONA FIDE TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION, A BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND A SENIOR CITIZENS ORGANIZATION. NO DISTRICT EMPLOYEES OR VENDORS ARE ALLOWED TO SERVE ON THE CITIZENS' OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
