Measure M oversight committee presents annual report, lists early pool work and projects through July 2024
Summary
The Measure M citizen bond oversight committee reported expenditures through 07/01/2024 and confirmed funds were used for authorized purposes; recent projects include initial work on Atwater and Merced High pool projects and multiple campus security and modernization efforts.
The Measure M citizen bond oversight committee presented its annual report to the Merced Union High School District board, summarizing bond expenditures through July 1, 2024, and confirming that funds were used for authorized facilities projects.
The report, presented as an annual review of Measure M activity, traces the bond’s authorization (citing a November 2008 voter approval of $149,450,000 in general obligation bonds) and lists district investments up to the reporting date. Committee representatives told the board that the oversight committee—composed of community volunteers—has met regularly since 2009 and formally approved the most recent annual report on 01/20/2026.
Recent project activity cited in the report includes early work on pool projects at Atwater and Merced high schools, security and fencing projects across campuses, aquatics facilities at four campuses, and stadium work at Golden Valley and Merced high schools. The committee said the report covers expenditures through 07/01/2024 and that a subsequent Measure M meeting toward the end of the school year will review and approve the 2025 audit.
Trustees thanked the committee for the update; no questions were raised and the board acknowledged receipt of the report.
