SAN DIEGO—Twenty-two school bonds totaling $6.7 billion were put in front of San Diego County voters in the November election. It is the highest number of school bonds placed on the ballot in San Diego County’s nearly half-century voting history.

Bonds are used by school districts to borrow money and can involve an increase in property taxes to pay for them.
