Bond Measure Information

by Nancy Shaw

Bond Measure D was approved by local voters in 2003, to provide financing for school facilities projects and to qualify to receive State matching grant funds. Specifically, the proceeds from the sale of bonds authorized by Bond Measures D are to be used only for the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or replacement of school facilities, including furnishing and equipping of school facilities, or the acquisition or lease of real property for school facilities, and not for any other purpose.

Bond Measure C was approved by local voters in 2008, specifically to provide safe and modern schools; accommodate enrollment; upgrade aging classrooms, libraries, computer and science labs; repair or replace roofs, plumbing, heating, ventilation and electrical systems, including photovoltaics; improve fire alarms and school security; meet current earthquake standards; provide current technology; and replace old portables with permanent classrooms.

Fort Bragg Unified School District’s voters and taxpayers may be assured that their money is spent wisely to address specific facilities needs of the Fort Bragg Unified School District. The Board of Trustees established an independent Citizen’s Oversight Committee (pursuant to Education Code Section 15278), which meets quarterly to ensure Bond proceeds are expended only for the school facilities projects listed in each Measure, and are in compliance with the requirements of Article XIII A, Section 1(b)(3) of the State Constitution, and the Strict Accountability in Local School Construction Bonds Act of 2000.  In addition, the Board of Trustees performs annual independent performance and financial audits to ensure bond proceeds have been expended only for the school facilities projects listed in each Measure.

Current Citizen’s Oversight Committee members are: Scott Dietz, Kate Erickson, Phillip L. House, Pamela Koehler, Gin Paul Kremen, and Charles Preisig. Anyone interested in serving on the Citizen's Oversight Committe should contact the superintendent at 961-2850.
