shop. Despite tough budget times, construction is fully funded through two
voter-approved bond issues from 2008: California¹s Prop. 1D and San Diego¹s
Prop. S. In addition, equipment, cars and time are being donated by some of
San Diego¹s largest car dealers and repair facilities. Supt. O¹Connell, Dr.
Evans and other district staff and the Madison students will be on hand to
thank the voters and volunteers for this project.
