Where will this money go besides teacher compensation?

In addition to paraprofessionals, support staff, some administrators, and security and maintenance personnel, the district plans to use 18% of the funds to improve art, music, and athletic programs. Musical instruments, stage lighting and audio equipment, many athletic fields  and elementary school playgrounds need replacement, and no funding source exists for these needs. The district has dedicated funding sources for things like mental health, school safety and transportation, but there are no specific sources for art, music and athletics. In addition, 12 % will be spent on enhancing safety and security measures.
