2016 School Bond Ballot Measure
On March 8, 2016 the board of trustees unanimously voted to place Measure K, officially titled Central Union High School District Classroom Repair/School Safety Measure, on the June 7, 2016 ballot for voters living within the District, alongside the 2016 California presidential primary election. The subsequent approval of Measure K allows the CUHSD to issue $30,000,000 in local general obligation bonds in order to make repairs to old, deteriorating classrooms and buildings and upgrade classrooms, computer systems, science labs and vocational training rooms with the aim of improving student learning and achievement.
