Measure J

Measure J

Known as the “School Safety and Classroom Improvement Measure” - Measure J is a $150 million GO bond approved by over 70% of voters in November 2018. These funds are being used to improve student and campus safety and security measures; replace outdated electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems; and upgrade career tech and science, engineering, and technology classrooms and labs.

Supporting 21st-Century Instruction

Providing a 21st-century education requires up-to-date classrooms. This means additional technology upgrades so as students enter college or careers, they are proficient with technology programs. It means creating science and computer labs, and learning environments for our career technical education programs so they mirror the real workplace. And it means updated and more sophisticated safety measures.

Safety Upgrades and Repairs

Safe classrooms, campuses, and other school facilities are essential to a quality education. Needed improvements include upgrades to our emergency communications systems, and adding more security cameras, fire alarms, and lighting, especially near our fields. There are also important repairs and upgrades to be made at our schools to improve safety from an operations perspective, with updated plumbing and fixtures, and electrical wiring.
