Torrance election all about the bond issue

Shelly Leachman spells out the positions of the four candidates for Torrance school board here.


The Torrance Unified School District has yet to propose an inevitable new bond measure, but the potential for such a campaign in the future has become the primary focus of an election that's just one week away.

On Nov. 6, four candidates will vie for two seats on the district's board of trustees, which will have to decide the shape and size of a bond widely considered essential for the 33-campus system to make much-needed facilities fixes and rebuild J.H. Hull Middle School.

Incumbent Terry Ragins, first-time board aspirants Don Lee and para-educator Irmi Lake, as well as repeat candidate G. Rick Marshall, all concur that the Hull project should be a top priority - and all agreed that a bond measure is necessary.
