The bulk of the money will be paid to the Ashland School District to conduct activities.traditionally carried on by the school district for students. These funds will be paid to the district under a contract with the park commission to provide for programs and activities connected with the elementary, middle and high schools. The programs include athletics; various clubs such as drama, vocational, marketing and business; musical performances such as band, choir, orchestra and children's strings and other activities such as the brain bowl, debate, student yearbook-and student newspaper. The levy also includes a portion for community activities for adults and non-school age children. Community activities will be conducted by the Park and Recreation Commission. Most of the money raised by this measure is intended to continue programs of the school district which may be eliminated or reduced because of Ballot Measure Five adopted by a vote of the people in the state in November 1990. Measure Five amended the state constitution to limit the amount of property taxes that can be spent for education. Because of this limitation, none of the money raised by this measure will be for educational services or for courses of study required by law or by the rules of the State Board of Education. The programs and activities conducted by the school district will primarily be conducted outside of regular school hours and many of them will be conducted off school grounds.
