## Key findings
- **Measure C** is a **$37M college bond**, about **$25 per $100K of assessed value** a year through 2056–57, with **about $73.7M** in total repayment. It needs **55%**. [^1][^2]

- **No argument against was filed**, and the argument in favor doesn't name its signers. [^2]
- **Trustee Area A:** incumbent **Yolanda Minor** (on the board since Oct 2022) faces **Jerrad Schendel**. [^4]

## Measure C: $37M college facilities bond
**What it does:** Bonds for veterans' transition facilities, classrooms and labs, a university center, child care, trades training, safety systems, roofs and HVAC, solar, and seismic and ADA repairs. It can't pay salaries. Some projects assume state matching money. Annual audits and a citizens' oversight committee. **55%** to pass. [^2]

**Does it solve a lasting problem?** Small rural college, old buildings and a modest ask. Supporters say they'll partner with Barstow Community Hospital and BNSF on job training. [^3]
