Measure G touched every school with improvements and renovations. Passed in 2012, Measure G generated $198 million to provide safe, efficient, and modern facilities for District students and staff. Measure G projects were completed in 2019.
-
Certificate of Participation. The Board approved use of existing school-building lease revenue to issue and pay for a $40 million Certificate Of Participation (similar to a loan). The District can use lease, contingency and Shoreline funds to open Jose Antonio Vargas Elementary in 2019, at an estimated cost of $25 million, as well as make other capital improvements such as the new District Preschool and the District Office. The COP that was approved by the Board was paid off by Measure T.
