"Prop 401 Question of the Week" New and expanded facilities usually require additional operating costs.  Are they included in this request?  Beginning in 1994, the District Governing Board has required that no new construction can proceed without a specific plan to cover operating costs and without having the operating costs fully designated.  Buildings authorized under the 1994 bond were opened on schedule and with operating costs fully funded.  The Governing Board is continuing this same policy and operating funds will be clearly identified prior to completion of construction. 5.
