Future Bond Measure
Maintaining High-Quality Education Without Increasing Tax Rates
Aging San Ramon Valley Schools Need Repairs and Updates
Since 2002, the San Ramon Valley Unified School District has been fortunate to receive generous support from the community through voter-approved facilities bond measures. The SRVUSD Board of Education is considering placing a bond extension measure on the November 2026 ballot.
These capital improvements ensure that students will have access to up-to-date classrooms and campus facilities. Better schools help build stronger communities and support local property values.
If approved by voters, the measure would provide up to $750 million to:
- Improve student and school safety
- Replace or repair aging wiring, plumbing, and roofs
- Update science, technology, engineering, and math classrooms and labs to prepare students for college and careers
- Update classrooms and labs for career education, job training, and skilled trades
- Improve school accessibility for students with disabilities
Without increasing tax rates, this potential bond measure would extend the current rate at $56 per $100,000 of a property’s assessed (not market) value annually, for so long as bonds are outstanding.
Passing a bond measure would also qualify SRVUSD schools for more than $60 million in additional matching funds from the State that would otherwise go to other districts.
- All funds would be spent locally and could not be taken away by the State.
- Independent citizens’ oversight, annual audits, and public reporting would ensure the money is used as promised.
- Bond measure funds could only be spent on school facility repairs and updates, not on administration, salaries, or programming.
Fiscal Accountability & Oversight |
|
The Facilities Oversight and Advisory Committee (FOAC) fulfills the promise to voters that the expenditure of facility bond funds are scrutinized by an independent citizens’ oversight committee. These volunteer community members meet regularly throughout the year to review projects and expenditures related to the facility bond voter-approved specific projects.
