4:26 pm
negative about him. right? he would brighten up your day and i remember when i was drafted to the boston celtics, i remember sitting down with him and he asked me, do you know what it mean to be a celtic? and i was like, no, i'm from beaumont, texas. i don't have a clue. and he said, down. he talked to me literally for about an hour and a half on the history. >> at 611, bill walton was one of the most skilled big men to play basketball at ucla. walton, guided by his mentor, legendary coach john wooden, won two titles and walton led the bruins to 230 and zero seasons, earning him the most outstanding player in both final fours. he was dominant in almost every game he played. >> uh, a voracious rebounder and perhaps the finest passing center. not only of his generation but of all time in the nba. >> walton was the number one pick in the 1974 draft to the portland trail blazers, where he won the 1977 nba championship and finals mvp, and walton would win another nba championship

4:31 pm
information that raises some serious questions about how the school district has spent money from past bond measures. a lot of money. >> that's right. and we know so. and a lot of people asking, is this the right moment to put a bond measure, given the financial situation that the district is in now? meanwhile, the school district says it will decide which schools need to be closed or consolidated over the summer. then they will decide which schools will see those renovations. let me add that the school district has never lost a bond measure. it only requires 55% voter approval. but this time, because there is weak voter confidence, it is not a slam dunk. bonds to renovate school facilities are and always will be a never ending cost. >> when i use the campaign for these bonds, people used to always say to us when is enough? when are you going to stop asking for money? and i would always say never. when are you going to stop fixing your house? >> the longest serving school board commissioner now retired,
4:32 pm
recalls the track record of some of these bonds. it hasn't always been stellar. in the 1990s, under then superintendent bill rojas, there was a history of improper spending practices with bond money. here's what the incoming superintendent at the time, arlene ackerman, told the chronicle in may 2000. basically, there were no control systems in place. documents had been destroyed or were missing. decisions were made that were clearly outside of what voters had approved. since then, the bond expense pitcher process has been more transparent until 2016, when voters passed a $744 million bond in that bond, school modernization projects and kitchen upgrades were promised, and for the most part, successfully delivered. but some of those promises failed. supervisor shamann walton, who represent the bayview district, was a school board commissioner at that time.
4:33 pm
>> there was talk about a new school in the southeast sector of san francisco, because we have all the development and all the new housing coming. so there are things that were in that bond that we don't see coming up as a priority anymore. >> in 2016, voters also liked that the ruth asawa school of the arts would be finally relocated to the heart of the performing arts district, $100 million was set aside while the district attempted a now unsuccessful fundraising campaign. bond money was even used for the architectural drawings of the new school. the district was supposed to start a campaign to raise money. >> yes. >> did they drop the ball? was the effort not there in your opinion? >> they. did not have the either the administration or the development people or the fundraising capacity to do that. >> phil halperin is the co-chair of the proposed bond measure. how are people going to trust you this time around? >> i think the school district
4:34 pm
acted very fiduciary and fiscally intelligently by not investing so much money in one particular school. >> instead, the money for the ruth asawa school was used to fund other projects, including the construction of a new school in mission bay that wasn't even included in the initial 2016 bond. susan stoter is the school district's former artistic director. i don't know as a voter how i feel about voting over and over again for something and being told it just disappeared. >> it just went away. it becomes a trust issue. abc seven news also discovered that there was little oversight of how the 2016 bond money was being spent. >> because of the pandemic, it was nearly impossible to recruit people who would serve on the citizens bond oversight committee, known as sybok, and required by law. it wasn't until the summer of 2021 that a new
4:35 pm
committee was finally formed, and for several years this bond program not only did not have a sybok as required by law, it was not producing annual audited annual reports, which is the absolute bare minimum, not merely required by law, but that any reasonable person should expect would be provided for the blic. last year that committee found that the school district used 2016 bond money to defend against a lawsuit. after the school board voted in 2019 to cover up murals at george washington high school. what is known is that sfusd faces a financial crisis not seen in years. the state has warned the district that schools may have to close or be consolidated. this leaves voters with the obvious question you're in a crisis. >> you can't afford things. why
4:36 pm
are you asking us to do this? and they need a good answer for that. >> the good news is, is that the school bond program operates alongside the rest of the school district's finances. it is managed separately, both from an operational perspective and financial perspective. >> the regarding that 2016 bond measure nothing. the district has done has been illegal, except that voters have told us that when they vote for something they trust that the district will be true to their word and they believe they haven't always been truthful. >> well, let's talk about that word trust, because at the core, if you're not, they haven't apparently been as accountable as one would like. you know, opening the books, explaining how the money was spent to the public trust becomes really important if you keep going back to the same. well, over and over again. >> that's right. and i think you hit the right note there. many people are mad and they vote no most of the time because in this
4:37 pm
case, they didn't even really have an oversight committee. and for several years. so that's something that the, you know, the voters say, okay, if i voted for this, i want to see the results. i want to see that school there. you want to know the money's being spent absolutely right. and then when they discover that, you know, the money isn't being spent the way they thought it was going to be spent, then they say, well, this is i don't trust you anymore. >> i can't keep doing this. >> that's right. and it's a vicious cycle because of course, they need the money so much right now. >> that's right. and let me just add that in 2028, they have decided that they will put another bond measure. oh really? 2028? >> thanks, liane. sure >> well a little on the job. knapp and jason kelce on his wife and why he doesn't consider

several times. i will say i'm one of those people who is not going to pay until i know who's playing and know that my money is going to go towards somebody i actually want to see. i was telling my friend who came from new york, i remember when i could wait until the lineup is released, buy my ticket, and then, oh, let me get a little bed and breakfast in napa. but now good luck. you've got to buy the tickets as soon as they come out. so we didn't even stay in napa. we stayed in sausalito because i didn't want to make a long drive, but there's nowhere to stay in napa that weekend because everybody books it the second they know that there's going to be a bottlerock and it's annoying. >> how was pearl jam? >> amazing. and t-pain was good, too. who knew? he was so entertaining? he's funny. it was great. it was great. >> how was the bed and breakfast in sausalito? the inn above tide was amazing. >> cutest little place ever. have you been there? oh it's great. >> yeah, it really is. it was worth it. a success all the way around. >> it was. but getting out of napa to sausalito after the concert was quite the trek because of traffic.
