District reports 71% support for Measure M infrastructure and safety projects

In a recent special board meeting, the San Marino Unified School District (SMUSD) highlighted the successful passage of Measure M, which received an impressive 71% approval from voters. This measure is set to address critical infrastructure needs within the district, focusing on repairs, safety, and security enhancements across schools.

Measure M outlines a comprehensive project list that includes essential repairs such as roofing and improvements related to career and technical education (CTE). Additionally, the measure allows the district to pay off existing financial obligations, demonstrating a proactive approach to managing its resources.

District officials emphasized their commitment to transparency and accountability in the implementation of Measure M. A citizens bond oversight committee has been established, with seven members already seated, to ensure that the funds are used effectively and in accordance with the community's expectations.

This initiative not only aims to improve the physical environment of schools but also to enhance educational opportunities for students, reflecting the district's dedication to fostering a safe and supportive learning atmosphere. As the district moves forward with these projects, residents can expect regular updates on progress and outcomes, reinforcing the community's investment in its schools.
