Benicia Unified School District officials said Thursday that investing in schools is a necessity to bring modern education to this city’s students.

“It’s not just about fixing up what’s old. It’s about bringing education to the 21st century,” consultant John Isom told the board.

At issue is a potential bond measure just shy of $50 million that would pay for the improvement of the district’s infrastructure. The board heard Thursday about the district’s facilities needs.
