General Obligation Bond Facilities Updates

 

On August 9, 2023, the San Jacinto USD Board of Trustees adopted a new Facilities Master Plan, the culmination of a two-year process to identify needs across our schools. It was determined that while SJUSD teachers continue to provide a high-quality education, many of our facilities are aging and in need of repair to meet current education and safety standards. Additionally, most schools are over capacity.

 

On September 13, 2023, The San Jacinto USD Board of Trustees meeting included a presentation regarding the possible recommendation for a $73 million General Obligation bond measure for the 2024 ballot. While no decisions have been made, the cost of the measure would be limited to $60 per $100,000, annually, of assessed (not market) value, or about $150 per year for the typical homeowner, while bonds are outstanding.

On November 8, 2016, voters in the San Jacinto Unified School District boundary approved Measure Y, a local Proposition 39 General Obligation School Bond Measure for SJUSD facilities and technology upgrades to improve student safety, instruction and learning. The bond measure required 55% voter support. Final official election results for Riverside County indicate 72.92% voter support for Measure Y.  Thank you for supporting our students!

 

 

The project began with a Groundbreaking Ceremony on June 18, 2019 and ended with a celebratory Ribbon Cutting on July 30, 2021. The district was obtained a 50% match for the construction of the school from available Proposition 51 funds.
