BONDS RECEIVING MIXED GRADES.

Bonds to repair and upgrade schools in the Las Virgenes and Conejo Valley districts appeared headed for victory Tuesday, while Moorpark voters were defeating a parks tax and school bond measure, according to early returns.

Additionally, three Las Virgenes Unified School District board incumbents appeared to be winning re-election, according to preliminary figures.

Voters in the Conejo Valley Unified School District had been asked to decide on Measure Q, a $97 million bond to be used for building repairs and upgrades. If approved by a two-thirds majority, the bond would cost property owners an average of $24.36 a year per $100,000 of assessed valuation, for up to 40 years.

In the Las Virgenes district, two-thirds approval was needed for Measure R, a $93 million bond that would be used to build three new schools and renovate older buildings. It would cost property owners an average of $29 a year per $100,000 of assessed valuation, for up to 28 years.

In the school board race, incumbents Charlotte Meyer, Judy Jordan and Barbara Bowman-Fagelson were holding off challengers Bob Selvin, Rachel Shavick and Shirley M. Bass in early returns.

And the two Moorpark measures were falling far short of the two-thirds majority needed for passage.

Supporters of Measure U had proposed using revenue from the $16.2 million bond for a new high school gym, classrooms and improved libraries. It would cost property owners an average of $29.51 a year per $100,000 of assessed valuation for up to 40 years.

Measure P - asking voters whether they want to continue the $40 a year they pay for parks maintenance - also appeared headed for defeat. The passage of Proposition 218 in 1996 required two-thirds voter approval to continue the tax.
