Bond Measure K
Local Funding for Quality Education
The NUSD Board of Trustees voted to place Measure K. One option being considered is placing a $15 million general obligation bond measure on the November 2024 ballot. The cost of Measure K would be limited to 3 cents per $100 of assessed (not market) value annually, or about $90 per year for the typical homeowner in the District, while bonds are outstanding.
Funding from Measure K could be used to:
- Upgrade classrooms, labs, and facilities to support high-quality education
- Repair deteriorating roofs, heating and cooling, plumbing, sewer and electrical systems
- Update older schools to meet current building safety codes
- Provide proper access for students with disabilities
- Replace aging portable classrooms with modern, permanent classrooms
- Improve school safety systems including, fencing, smoke detectors, fire alarms, and sprinklers
Transparency, Local Control and Accountability
Measure K would require a clear system of accountability including:
- All money raised by Measure K remains under local control to support NUSD schools only
- No money could be taken away by the State
- A Citizens’ Oversight Committee and annual audits ensure funds are spent properly
- Funds from Measure K could be used to compete for State matching funds that would otherwise, go to other school districts
