On behalf of the San Jacinto Unified School District Board of Trustees, staff and students, I want to say THANK YOU for your overwhelming support of Measure C.
With the passage of this $78 million bond as well as expected state matching funds, we will be able to move forward with essential facility upgrades and improvements across our District. Our projected projects include expansion and modernization of San Jacinto High, sport field lighting at San Jacinto High and San Jacinto Leadership Academy, addition of learning centers to support our students with disabilities and the removal of portable classrooms.
We are committed to responsible stewardship of all bond funds and our Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee will monitor expenditures to ensure transparency and accountability. Recruitment for new committee members is ongoing. If you are interested in becoming a member of the Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee please click HERE for information.
Thank you for your continued support as we work together to ensure that each and every SJUSD student graduates college and career-ready with a passion for learning, the motivation to live responsibly and the capacity to be problem solvers as they successfully navigate their unique futures.
With gratitude,
Dr. David Pyle
Superintendent

Facilities Improvements to Better Serve Students
San Jacinto Unified School District (SJUSD) aims to provide safe and supportive learning environments to over 10,000 students across all of our school sites. Our high-quality staff and academic programs help ensure that local students are prepared for success in high school, college and the workforce.
Facilities Master Plan Identifies Needed Improvements
To identify specific facility needs at each school and to prioritize improvements based on urgency and importance, SJUSD performed a thorough assessment of all facilities by architects, engineers and school construction experts. The assessment included public meetings at each school site to gather input from our local community. View our Facilities Master Plan.
In total the Facilities Master Plan identifies over $652 million of necessary repairs and improvements across every school site. Upgrades and repairs would help ensure that all SJUSD students have access to the same state-of-the-art educational facilities as other students in Riverside County already have, so that students are prepared for college and the workforce.

Locally Controlled Funding for Necessary School Improvements
Facility improvements of this magnitude are beyond the scope of the District’s operating budget. That is why, to continue meeting the needs of our students and community, the Board of Trustees voted unanimously to place Measure C, a $78 million bond measure on the November 2024 ballot.

Potential Measure C Financed Projects
- Expansion and modernization of San Jacinto High
- Sports field lighting at San Jacinto High and San Jacinto Leadership Academy
- Construction of learning centers
- Removal of portable classrooms
Mandatory Fiscal Accountability
Measure C requires a clear system of accountability including:
- All proceeds from Measure C would be controlled locally and could not be taken away by the State
- None of the money raised by Measure C could be used for administrators’ salaries or pensions
- Independent citizens’ oversight and mandatory annual audits would be required
