Summary
District Advocates Group and construction manager Balfour Beatty briefed the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified board on the $297 million Measure SOS bond program, outlining roles, regulatory hurdles, and program and soft‑cost estimates; board members pressed for clearer schedules and public financial reporting.
District advocates and the district’s construction manager told the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District board on Jan. 28 that managing the Measure SOS bond will require external expertise, close state oversight and careful cost controls.
Alan Rising of District Advocates Group and Tom Schlegel of Balfour Beatty walked the board through the program life cycle, from early planning and design to construction and state certification, and said the district’s projects will interact with multiple state agencies such as the Division of State Architect and the Office of Public School Construction. Rising described the size and complexity of the program as “a significant investment” and said the bond represents $297,000,000 in funds entrusted to the district.
