The CJUSD Board of Trustees voted to place a $225 million school improvement bond on the Nov. 5, 2024, ballot.
Many of our neighborhood schools were built over 60 years ago and require repairs and upgrades to ensure all students have equal access to safe and updated educational facilities. If we want kids to succeed in college and careers, they must have access to the tools and technology to provide a solid background in science, math, and engineering.
The Measure BB school improvement bond would cost property owners no more than $40 per $100,000 of assessed (not market) value for as long as bonds are outstanding, or about $10 per month for the typical homeowner.
It would enable our district to:
- Upgrade older schools so they meet current health codes, and building safety codes and provide proper access for students with disabilities
- Remove hazardous materials like asbestos and lead pipes from older schools
- Provide modern labs, career technical facilities, and equipment so students are prepared for college and in-demand careers
- Make repairs to older classrooms and school facilities including deteriorating roofs, plumbing, heating, ventilation, and electrical systems
- Replace aging portables with new permanent classroom buildings
Measure BB includes strict fiscal accountability protections, including the creation of a detailed project list, a citizens’ oversight committee, and required independent audits.
