DISTRICT BOND MEASURE ON BALLOT Clovis Unified has a facilities bond on the November ballot. Some have questioned why now, in the midst of the current pandemic conditions, would the district ask voters to consider this measure. Put simply, we need our community’s input about CUSD’s future. We are out of space in many of our schools and out of money to continue to maintain, update and build new schools.... Without new funding, the district will have to consider massive districtwide student boundary changes, double sessions or year-round schools in order to accommodate the growing student population. Additionally, Clovis Unified schools (many of which were built 40 or more years ago) would not receive the current high-standard of maintenance the district is known for, and upgrades would be postponed or not happen at all. Measure A is a $335 million bond that does not raise the tax rate. It would provide locally controlled dollars for: Security auto-door locks and advanced ventilation upgrades to every school Construction of new schools to create space necessary to avoid widespread boundary changes, double sessions or year-round schools Deferred maintenance and modernization to several aging schools This is a critical time to hear from our constituents on how to proceed. We encourage you to learn the facts about Measure A and cast your vote in the November election. More information about Measure A is available at cusd.com/2020Bond.
