Just over a dozen residents were at Claremont High School’s Dr. Brett O’Connor Student Center Wednesday for a chance to hear Claremont Unified School District officials’ pitch for a potential bond measure on the November ballot to address aging infrastructure and safety needs.

“The Claremont Unified School District Board of Education is considering placing a school facilities bond on the November ballot,” an email from Claremont Unified School District Superintendent Jim Elsasser announcing the meetings stated. “Before that question reaches voters, the Board believes it should be shaped by the full community we serve, not only households with children currently in our schools.”

A second community meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 13, at El Roble Intermediate School’s Multipurpose Room, 665 N. Mountain Ave., Claremont.
